What causes ATV backfire?
Backfiring occurs when one (or more) spark plug in the ATV engine ignites the fuel when it’s out of turn in the chamber, and the exhaust valve on the cylinder is open. In other words, ATV backfiring occurs due to a short, sudden instance when the engine is too lean or too rich.

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?
