Not sure if it applies but I have had a couple of magnums and put a ton of hours on them,the first one did a backfire thing on start up at around six hundred hours,but did not fail to start at least for awhile then boom no start,ended up being a ignition coil they are like a lawnmower sits outside of the flywheel under the fan housing which is tough to get off in the machine but not impossible,after my first experience with this whenever it started backfiring on start up I would replace the coil asap and for me it was 500 to 800 hours depending on how much summertime use it got I think heat played a huge part,like I said not sure if this is your issue but sooner or later you will run into it.N.C.T
