    You need to pull the flywheel back off and make sure the key has not sheared in half. Sometimes it can look whole but it is not. If it is backfiring then I bet the key is not right. Why did the key need to be replaced anyway? Did you hit a root or something big to stop the motor cold? If not,then something internally went south.
