You probably mean it spits through the carb, check the CO and the ignition timing, if really weak or advanced timing it can cause this.

I wouldn't take much notice of the ignition timing marks, ok to get it running, but best way is to tweak either way a touch at a time till you get the best result, still need to check the co.
