Hi guys, I am new to this forum, so I appreciate any help I get. I own a Savage XL, I have had the K5.9 engine for about 8 years, but not with that much usage. Took it out of storage and been running well for a few weeks. About a week ago the con rod snapped (I took it as general wear and tear). I took that as an opportunity to get the LRP 32 spec 2 (new condition from eBay - not broken in). During the break in process my clutch shoes kept seizing to the bell gear, I would release, file off any barbs and resume. On tank 4 (running up to 1/2 throttle) the con rod snapped!
Two questions:
Why do my clutch shoes keep binding with the bell gear?
If I have managed to break two engines in one week, what else might be wrong?
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance
