Default Help with backfiring 500 H.O scrammy

My 500 4X4 scrambler runs ok when the engine is cold but has recently stared to backfire though the exhaust when it warms up to running temp (backfiring when throttle is closed) and it will no longer idle when hot. I've been a bit slack coz I hav'nt checked anything out yet.
Any ideas on what to look for? Thanx.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
