Like teeroy said start at the primary and probably start working your way in. I'd be checking bearings myself.

Mine just I'd the same thing. Check your compression it will be it a piston. Pulled the head on mine and there was a little chip in the piston but it is not all the way missing. It idles real rough and runs fine at half to wide open is what mine did. Going to pick up a new short block tomorrow and put it in as the crank will need work in awhile anyway. I will bet this the samething that happened to yours. Mine had 135 compression on one side and 30 on the other. Good luck and I hope I am wrong.

i would say a clutch but if it is backfiring you have other problems, check compression. every change the spark plugs? bad fuel mayby, crank bearing, etc.

When my crank let go, it was the mag side bearing. Almost dead on the same miles. I got a $20 that says it's the crank.

Crank is twisted one piston is only half a piston above the other where's the best deal on an engine

I had a feeling that was it. My 09 had the exact same problem. But it didn't have the backfiring. I got everything replaced by Martin. Once again they did a great job of going to bat for me with BRP and getting it covered under warrenty. Not gonna happen with yours obviously. But the have a great service department. Outside of that I'd look into finding a written off sled. Try and find an etec if possible.

sorry to hear, i was hoping i was wrong, mine did the exact same friggin thing, i lucked out on a wrecked sled. short block is the way to go, forget rebuilding it, let someone else have the fun, fyi there was nothing salvageable on the clutch side of my motor.
