Remove the seat, and take the cover off the air filter container. Place your hand over the end to aid in fuel flow to the carburator. You might not be getting enough fuel which is causing it to backfire and not start completely.
Attempt to start the ATV once you get fuel flowing you should be all set. Clean that filter as well.

2005 Polaris Sportsman 700 won't start.

Go back to basics. What EXACTLY does it do when you try to start it? Just spins it is often No spark. 'Coughs' and tries to start is possibly a fuel supply issue.
An engine needs 3 things to run. Air, Fuel, Spark. Did you check for spark on both cylinders?
Have you checked the air filter is clean. You will be surprised at how much a dirty one can affect an engine.
Have you checked for fuel supply at the cylinders. If you can get your head near the plug holes try this. Remove both spark plugs. Crank the engine for 2 seconds then remove the ignition key. Sniff the spark plug hole. Does it smell of fuel? Do the same for the other cylinder. Use the comment button below and I'll see if I can help you more.
