Default I NEED YOUR HELP QUICKLY!!!!

ok so last night i took the baffle out of my Raptor 350 Exhaust. I drove it and it seemed fine, but these morning i was riding it and it just died and i couldnt get it running again. Whenever i do get it running it just shuts off and spits and sputters. What is going on and how can i fix it??

If changing the plug doesn't fix it, try cracking open the carb drain on the float bowl. There could be some dirt, water, or something else there that doesn't belong.
My Wolverine was doing the same thing while riding one day last Winter. Easy 1 minute fix.
Why'd you take the baffle out? More noise, less back pressure, or to eliminate the spark arrestor?

Sounds better? Or just louder? It's a quick way to irritate any neighbors around you, and it eliminates the spark arrestor, good way to take a chance of starting a fire if it's dry around your area. In my mind, a bad idea whatever way ya look at it.
You don't have to ride in any dirt or water for stuff to get into the float bowl, sometimes it just happens. Try the easy stuff first, drain a little from the float bowl, put the spark arrestor back in, try a new plug.
Have a good one!

You took the baffle out, thus eliminating some back pressure. That reduction in back pressure requires an increase in your jet sizes.
