Default Question about .15 Tmaxx engine

Can anyone tell me why an engine would spit fuel back up through the carb in little spurts as I try to start it. I ran it through 3 of the 4 break in tanks after installing a new piston and sleeve and now can't get it to start. Please give me your thoughts.

I dont remember for sure but I dont think it will turn over if the plate is not right. I think the piston will hit the backplate and stop the piston. Not completely sure though. Sounds like the piston is backwards
