Default 03 Raptor Problem

I was riding all weekend and it was running pretty good, Then there came alot of back firing and everything. The gas Tank was almost full so there was alot of gas. I still road it for the remainder of the day. Then later on I went out riding some more and all of a sudden it stalled after 30 minutes of riding. It then would not start back up. I pushed it all the way home and then Checked the Spark Plug. It was pretty bad so I changed it. Well I keep trying to start it and it still wont start. Anyone no anything what could be wrong or what? It did it a couple weeks ago but didnt think nothing of it. Please help me out, Thanks

Check for spark. And you said you tried putting gas in the carbs manually to get it to fire? Try some starting fluid straight into the carbs. I believe that you have to be cranking it with throttle at least partially open to get some fuel in because the carbs slides are done off of vacuum. Im just kinda guessing on that one though. They might open some otherwise.

Check for spark.
Check to make sure gas is flowing TO the carbs.
Try some starting fluid. If your getting gas to the carbs and it wont start, but it starts with starting fluid.
Clean the jets.
Also check to make sure the carbs havent pulled out of the intake boots.
Its been known to happen on the Rappy.
Because you mentioned backfiring, check your valve adjustments.

This happened to my friend. His left boot blew off on the engine intake. We cranked it down real hard and hasn't happened since.

What is that suppose to mean? Will this all be a easy fix or will it be a money thing, alot of money to fix?
