If it backfires check the timimg. Check to make sure that all of your sparkplugs are clean, and that they are all recieving spark. The last thing could be a bad carburetor, But I really doubt it. The starter spining faster, I dont know. From what you said, I'm convinced it is timing/spark related. Easyand cheap to fix/replace. Good luck. We are hear for you man. Dont get too frustrated and give up on the rx. When you finally get them restored, they are WELL worth your trouble. Very fun cars.

I agree, check your timing first...
