Backfiring and now not running

A couple of weeks ago my china girl engine, after running fine all day, stopped idling and then quit running altogether.
I put in a new NGK B5 plug today, it was hard to start, but ran for a couple of miles. I had to keep the RPM's high or it would die. Then it quit and will not run at all. The plug is wet and I suspect a fuel issue as it seems to have spark and copression. By the way I tried a different CDI, no luck.
While it was running, it was backfiring through the exhaust and carberator.
Any ideas how to get it purring again?
 
My magnet is in the correct position and the woodruff key is intact. I don't have a spark. I think I disconnected the killswitch(unplugged the wires) and nothing. I am going to buy a new magneto next.
