1997 Polaris Magnum 6x6 425 - Back Fires When Throttle It Fast & Idles Too High

[chevy2008 10]

Just bought this for 1200 and it back fires when u really give it gas or rev it up n nuetral....can smell gas like its getting to much....would this cause this to back fire? what could it b

dirty carb. float is sticking or debris in jets. try some carb spray while it is running and see if that clears it out. if not, you may have to tear the carb down and clean it manually...
