I have a 95 XCR600 and it is having a backfire problem. It was fine the first time i took it out this season then when i recently tried to start it out it backfired though the intake and a flame came out my airbox. I had it started for a minuet or two but it wouldnt build rpms and died. What is wrong, and what can i do about it?

what's wrong: it's a polaris.

Solution: buy a skidoo.

that's all i could say about it

You are forgetting that Ski-Doos are the back firing champions.Every MXZ I see backfires when shut down.
Just my $0.02

never heard that before. the polaris fans aren't as crazy as the cat riders... they could (not saying that they do, so someone cant tell if its a joke) have the worst sleds and still think they have the best. i know the rev is a good sled, so i support it. AC could come out with a snowmobile with no skis, so it drags the front end and cant steer it, but to them its the best! at least you recognize flaws.

Sounds like it's running to rich to me. Take it to the local shop and have them synch and set the carbs.

I agree with Jethro as well. But back fires can be caused by a lean condition as well. What condition are the plugs in? Wet and oily or dry & burnt?
Either way I suggest you pull the carbs make sure they are definately clean after the long storage. Could be as simple as a plugged jet, allowing the air to gas ratio to be to high & pre ignition, and BOOM, back fire.

Sorry but I have too....

Grow up guys.
This happened to my sled.

You need to get the carbs cleaned and drain all the fuel out. Put in a full tank of 92 octane with seafoam. Then watch out for clogged fuel filters. "The solution to polution is dilution." It should be a miraculous recovery as mine was. Good luck!
