Have you changed the exhaust? Sometimes an exhaust leak can cause problems like that.

No i havent changed the exhaust
Its got different exhaust on but it was that way when i bought it 2 months ago
Ive put around 250 miles on it before it started to sputter and back fire
It started happening right after i washed it.

I put sea foam in the fuel and ran it for about a hour and it helped alot
Not sputtering and back firing now.
