1 of 2 things.
1. you need to raise the idle using the idle screw since when you use the brake it closes the carb, you need to turn the idle screw clockwise until the idle stays the same when you hit the brake
2. your cluctch spring is broken, will it start and run without moving? if not the cluch spring may be broken
i think its number 1 though

the idle screw is not set high enough so to me it sounds like the idle screw needs to but turned up so that when you hit the brake it doesnt shut the carb opening all the way, try to turn the idle screw clockwise.

yeah if the carb isnt open far enought at idle it could make a difference. i would make sure the trim is right on the carb, if its open enough at idle i mean, and then adjust the idle screw, cuz by opening the carb up a little more may give u the extra u need to keep it open when u brake. just a thought might not work
