Maybe not. I was wearing my work boots on wet ground so I dunno. But it was pretty bad but not bad enough to make a big worry about it.

when i run my engine then i press the butterfly and then put it back at idle, my engine backfires making a pretty loud sound and sometimes a flame emmits from exhaust. i don't care that it backfires, but i would like to know how to prevent it/fix it and why it happens.

Rich setting with straight pipe is probable culprit.

The spitting is part of the straight pipe.
i got some water in my gas tank somehow and the engine wants to start but it won't turn over, occasionally it turns over and runs for like 10 seconds after i shake my engine because water is heavier than gas it mixes it up then the water settles to the bottom where the fuel draw in line is so it shuts off. what should i do to get the water out of the tank?

Stuff some rags in there to soak up liquid. Keep it warm area with cap off to fully evaporate.

Let water settle to bottom and siphon off gas from top being careful not to suck up water. Gas can be reused if free of water. Soak up what's left in tank. Just let rags dry out and throw away.
what i'm going to do is get the water out by siphoning at the bottom and keep on going until it starts and keeps on going
ok i got 3/4 inch clutch today and was wondering how to prepare it to go on the crankshaft and how to not burn it up and where to grease it and such and what to grease it with. also i need to know what part of the clutch you are talking about with a picture or something because i don't know the parts of the clutch

Pour some stabil (or any dry gas stuff)in there, burn it out, the water will steam clean the inside of the engine. Grease the engine shaft, oil the bushing on the clutch every time you use it.
where is the bushing?

Its the brass/bronze deal that lets the drum/sprocket spin on the rest of the clutch.

30wt motor oil, same stuff that goes in the motor.
is the bushing behind the sprocket in which i need to remove the snap ring to lubricate with oil? and how do i mount a clutch. i have 2 set screws. it mensioned that a bolt and washer be placed if tapped crankshaft and for me to buy a key. 3/16" wide and 1/2" long.
