I was out riding my Polaris on my track and as i came around a corner it just died on me, then after about 3 seconds back fired. I filled it up with more gas and it still wont start. What could the problem be?

It's a pretty vague statement. 2 or 4 stroke? Did it start and run for a while or start and die right away again? Was it out of gas before you filled it up?

sorry. Its a 4 stroke Polaris Trail Boss. It was on about an 1/8 of a tank and i was riding fine for about 10 minutes then thats when it died.

An engine needs spark, fuel and compression. What don't you have?

thanx for the help but i figured out the problem. I accidently mixed in 20/1 gas that my dad had for the ice auger (idk how to spell it lol) so i just need to drain that out and clean the plugs

Lubrication? It will run fire w/o it...trust me

I'm talking about what it needs to fire.
