We're glad you're here! 
Would check the valve clearances. Might discover one or more being too tight, especially intake valve on the non-running cylinder. An intake valve which fails to close can spit back through the carb. Maybe adjustments of valve clearances to specs could resolve the issue.
Good Luck!
