How old is Polaris EFI EPs 570 sportsman?

My 2015 EFI EPS 570 Sportsman is one year old. Got about 40 hours on it. Drove around in some high water out at the deer lease last weekend (Houston area, lots of rain). After riding for a couple hours, we hit the hard pack dirt road and opened up the wheelers for some much needed speed and fresh air.

What causes a backfiring plug on an ATV to pop?

Cruising shouldn’t cause any problems if all fuel is burned in the combustion process. A misfiring plug will certainly put raw fuel into the exhaust and do a lot of popping as it is getting air with the fuel, thus exploding when it reaches the hot exhaust.

What causes popping and hesitating on Polaris Pro riders?

That kind of popping/backfiring. You know how if it’s advanced too far it starts real hard and rough but will rev to the moon, but if it’s retarded too much, it starts super fine but sputters and bucks and spits and kicks. Would a sheered woodruff key put off symptoms like this?

When does a car engine start and backfire?

Sometimes the backfire is a couple seconds after the engine quits turning. The engine was dead cold (never got it started) & it was like 35 degrees out. I will try & confirm tomorrow if I am getting spark while the starter is cranking.
