I recently bought a 2001 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO Remington Editon. It did not run when i bought it. I found that the pulse coil was bad so I replaced it and now it will idle just fine all day long but as soon as I try to rev the engine up it starts backfiring out the carb intake and the exhaust pipe. Anyone know what might be wrong?
