Hi I Have A Savage X and whenever i hold the brake it kills the engine i dont realy know what to do so if anyone could help that would be great thanks

HeatFire

check your idle screw it's probebly screwd out to much so when you brake you bush the throttle back to much.. not letting any air into the engine

if its running perfectly then u could check out ur clutch assembly.....there might be something keeping the clutch engaged..like not haveing the correct shim

savagexracing

welll i think theres a combination of probs cause i did what Heatfire said and it worked perfect for a while then was doing the sam old thing.also since i dont have a matching spur gear and clutchbell could that do anything(besides eat away my spur and clutchbell)

With the engine off turn the reiceiver on and check the linkages. apply the brakes and check to see if this forces the carb arm closed with the airfilter off. You need 1-2mm gap for idle.

yeap ^ thats your problem.. just had this happen to me 2 days ago

calvino

check to see if the clutch shoes are melted into the bell, that could be your prob.

Yup,
check the idle adjustment screw and then check ur clutch shoes.

well i did everything u guys said and it works way better than it did but now i have anotehr prob i snaped one of my 9x123mm dogbones

Vigilante212

lol but the non HD ones if you have silver ones they are HD if they are black they are non HD. The heavy duty ones snap alot I went through 4 in 6 months.

savagexracing

yea there black i plan on getting the HD ones cause it will sacve u money lol there only like 5 dollars more

Vigilante212

The HD ones wont save you money they twist and bend less, but they snap the ends off alot easier depending on how you drive it.
