Exaughst out the air intake

So I have a 1999 polaris scrambler 500 and it’s blowing exaughst out the air intake. I check the valve spacing and set them to what the manual said, and it’s still doing it. Not sure what would be the cause maybe a mouse got up in the exaughst and is blocking it or the pack fell and is blocking it. Only thing I can think off I’m gonna take of the pipe tomorrow and see any idea would be helpful

2010 500 HO Barely rolls

I have a 2010 Sportsman 500 HO that when you put it in gear acts as if the brakes are still applied. When you shift to N , the machine feels like it is still in gear but you can barely roll it. I did raise the rear end off the ground, and when you give it some gas, right as the wheels start to turn it sounds like metal slapping but I couldn’t pin point it. I have removed the rear brakes, tires and the wheel hub. The CV shaft is hard to turn as well. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Brad

reset blink codes

Need some help with my 07 Sportsman 500 HO deluxe.

It was sluggish around 35 and topping out around 40.
I finally got around to looking at it and pulled some codes.

Started off with 22 and 55. I started looking around at wires and found a few bare on the connector to the IAC. I fixed those and ran diagnostics once before plugging the connector back in. Now I get a 45 code as well.

did the same with the MAP sensor, and now I have a 47 code.

I went through the entire harness and verified every connection is good. disconnected/reconnected the computer, cleaned terminals, etc.

Here’s the problem – I think the wiring is fixed but I can’t get the codes to reset. I’ve had the battery off many times for the 30 seconds as stated in the manual as well as for hours and even overnight. Can’t seem to get it to clear out the codes. Anyone know any other tricks to reset?
