Hey Guys,

Went Out Last Night With A Bunch Of Friends To The Cabin. After Being Out For A Couple Of Hours We Stopped For A Little Rest. When We Were Getting Ready To Leave, I Turned The Key And Nothing. Heard Just A Hissing Sound When I Turned The Key. The Fuel Gauge And All The Other Electrical Stuff Works,(fuses Are Not Blown). Started Perfect With The Pull Cord And When I Shifted Into Reverse, The Beeper Was Very Weak And Very Rapid.

Just Before All This Happened We Were On A High Speed Run And When I Shut Her Off She Backfired.she Has Backfired A Couple Of Times Like This Before So I Brought Her In To Get Cleaned Up And The Shop Said They Were Clean As A Whistle. Any Thoughts To These Two Things Would Be Greatly Appreciated.

P.s.: Carbs Were Iced Up Pretty Bad Last Week So I Put Some Heat On Them And Added Some Gasline Antifreeze To The Tank. Could This Have Anything To Do With The Backfiring?
 
Did you check the battery? They are notorious for failing...My 500 wasted a battery this year as well but throws off enough juice to run the fuel gauge..The reverse sound is generated from the electrical system so that will sound weak if the battery is bad..
 
Also, the backfiring could be a number of things but probably not related to the battery. If you have heated carbs, turn the heat lines on..
 
I agree with Polarman, check the grounding point for the battery.
Everything can look fine, be tight etc.etc. & still have a bad or weak ground.
Would start there, clean all connections etc.

On the backfiring on shut down, could be excess fuel getting dumped into the exhaust pipe, say after a hard run & then quck shut down??

Have had it happen in the past with one sled.
If it is always doing it then I would get concerned.
