Craftsman LT 1000 backfires no start

Got a new house and bought a used LT1000. It ran fine for 2 months and then it started running rough and backfiring. It now backfires and will not start. Here is what I’ve done so far:
- replaced the carburetor
-replaced the plug and validated there’s spark
- adjusted the valve clearance
- replaced the fuel filter
- confirmed the flywheel key is intact
- replaced the fuel filter

What else can it be?
