99 sportsman 500 cam swap

Hi im in dire need of direction. I have a service manual but have hit a wall. I have everything on the top end off that I think needs to be off i order to get the cam out. When I push on the cam from the timing chain side to get it to slide out the other side. The cam slides about 3/4" then hits something like there’s a c clip or something holding it. Do the rocker arms need to be off in order for the cam to slide out? I need to get this cam out but am out of ideas, is there anyone here that can help me out.

Stator or CDI ????

I have a 2002 Polaris 700 Sportsman 4×4..It was running great and then it got to where it didnt want to start but it would finally crank up..And I rode it about a mile shut it off and now wont fire..Spark Plugs are not firing at all..Replace CDI or Stator or both?

Scrambler Throttle cable

I recently bought a new throttle cable for my 2002 Scrambler 400 4×4.
I am looking for advice on how to remove and replace the part of the cable that goes to what I think is the oil injection pump on the lower front part of the engine. Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Headlights = misfire & stall

I have a 2002 Sportsman 700 that runs great until the headlights are switched on. Shortly afterwards the machine will misfire & stall. The headlights continue to flash until the ignition is switched off. I have tried running it with an automotive booster pack connected to the battery as well as replacing the following components;
voltage regulator/rectifier, ignition controller, stator, both 20 amp breakers.
I am ready to torch this POS!
