I was down at the local BMX track doing some bashing with my savage 46. when it landed upside down and stalled. the air filter had come off and so had the feul line to the exhaust. so I reattached both. and went to restart. started fine but as soon as i go to pull off it stalls. i can get it running and get it moving slowing by upping the idle speed on the controller. but one touch of the accelerator and it stalls.

It's got me stumped. any help is much appriated.
 
Clean that carb man. You probably got some fuel down in the bottom end as well. Follow this list, then see if it helps.

1 - Clean the air filter, and use a good quality filter oil afterwards. Make sure, when you mount it, it's TIGHT on the carb and secured with a zip tie.

2 - Empty your fuel tank. Clean the lines out with fuel, then put that back together. I would put about 50 drops of after run oil in the tank, then turn the motor over with a SLOW drill, and with the glow plug out afterwards.

3 - Check servo position. You could have knocked it out of line. Possible, but not probable.

4 - Replace the glow plug. Your crash may have jarred it and cause it to foul. It may not be holding enough heat to burn the fuel

5 - If the previous steps fail, try the next ones.

6 - Set the three adjustment needles to stock positions. They may not be correct and/or out of adjustment. It should run and be extremely rich at stock.

7 - You may have done some internal damage. If all else fails you, look at the manual for the engine. See what all else could be causing the problem.


Most importantly, remember, these motors are REALLY simple. There's not much too them. Piston/cylinder/crank. Fuel air and a glowplug is all you need to make them run.

So, try those steps, see what happens. If you still have problems, please reply and we can go further in depth with the problem. 🙂 Hope it helps for you!
