My 300ex hasn't run in a year i just purchased it from a family who barley used. it is backfiring very badly it has a white brothers exhaust on it also. do i just need to totally clean the carb and replace the gaskets from it sitting?

clean the carb and rejet it

You might not have to rejet. Just start by cleaning the carb. Make sure you have fresh gas and no clogged lines.

I would also make sure the petcock is clear of trash and install a inline fuel filter.

Removing the carb and cleaning it would be the first thing I'd do along with replacing the air filter. I agree with Red ^ rejetting won't be the issue chances are the carb is shelacked up from old fuel.

300 could very well be correct about the jetting, but let's do one step at a time... Great advise 300!!!

300, that is why we have multiple people answering, you gave correct info and the other team members narrowed it down!

true that i just though new pipe on it the jetting or the carb could be dirty but my bike backfired when we put my pipe on it and when we rejetted it it did not so u never know

That's true^^^ but i think the exaust was already on it , the quad had just been sitting for a while. Old fuel will do that too especially if it has moisture in it.
But a very good and valid asumption 300.
