craftsman tractor won't start

please help, my craftsman tractor hates me. it won't run. I have spark, new plug, new gas, new alternator, cleaned the carb, new flywheel key to replace sheared one ( I don't remember how that could have happened) I snipped the tip off of the thing in the carb bowl. it wasn't running and a friend advised me to cut it and it worked fine for a few days. I put the magneto back on and used a business card between it and the flywheel, I read that on here. the other day after I put the key in, it started and sounded great, the next day wouldn't start, then it started and sounded horrible and smelled like an ignition problem. it wouldn't idle up and barely moved, today again, it won't start getting some popping and backfiring that's it
