MTD 21" 2 stroke-Back firing and stalling after 15-20 mins of use

I took the spark plug out and it looks like the tip was dipped in oil. I mixed 50:1 according to the manual. Any thoughts? Thanks

It is possible in the 20 minutes you ran it, the vibration loosened up more crud in the fuel lines or something and replugged the carb.
