Cheese, glad to hear from you! You and I think a lot alike. I didn't mention that in my post but I did, indeed, check all the baffling and all is proper. I modified blades from a New Holland tractor...

If you are absolutely certain the spark was white then you have a weak ignition, which would also explain the backfire. If you don't have a bare wire (plug lead or kill wire) and you know you don't...
