02 700 vmax. Start every month ran perfect. Now won't start, and backfires so bad it separates the pipe from the silencer with a big bang. Is it dirty carbs or what? Checked spark, no spark while cranking then all plugs spark as soon as I turn key off. Is this a stator issue?

You may have just fouled the plugs from starting it every month. Try a brand new set.
Plugs all fire as soon as I turn key back.Obviously that's why I get the backfire in the exhaust pipe
pull it over with the plugs out by hand for spark. had ign on a doo 1/2 unplugged that would only spark correctly when pulled over.
pull the recoil and check for rust on the flywheel as that messes up spark as well.

But did you try a brand new set?
No .the plugs spark
Clean the carbs and make sure it has fresh gas.
Doesn't necessarily matter. When you start it every month for short run, that's a recipe for plug fouling. Did you try a brand new set?
