Hello again and thanks to all who helped with my earlier problems!
Now I can get my Savage X started and the engine seems to run ok but when I switch the receiver on the engine cuts out instantly.
This is because the throttle servo horn does not go into the neutral position but closes the carburettor chamber completely.
I have also noted that the throttle trim adjuster has almost zero effect and that the braking mech doesn't seem to be working!!!
Do I need a new throttle servo or a new transmitter??...Or both??? Or can I solve this with some adjustment?
PLEASE HELP!!!
As a bit of background: I was given this used Savage X (4.1) as a gift and really want to get the thing running...Unfortunately it has been frustrating, time consuming and costly experience so far. I've changed the uni directional bearing for the rotostart, bought a new charger and battery for the rotostart, a new glow plug igniter and charger etc. etc....and spent about 10 man hours tinkering with the car...I know these things are temperamental but my patience is wearing very thin!!!!
Thanks to all for looking at this.
Adrian
