Hi all. Please help.
Everytime I shift it in to gear the engine DIES for no good reason (while holding the clutch down).
In other words, the machine cannot be running while in gear.
Here´s the story...Just bought a savage, 97, black, 4,000 Mi, good shape, good deal.
Anyway, today I took it apart for the first time, BASIC SERVICE, and did an oil / filters / spark plug / cleaned carb+white spacer mod / drilled holes in air box & adjusted clutch cable cause it was a bit lose.
Put it back together and turned right on, purrrs better than ever, very strong, backfire gone.
But now it doesn´t go ???
(Something like what happens when a kid tries for the first time to drive a car with gears).
I thought it was the clutch cable so I adjusted it back and forward but no luck. Cable is still good, pulls all the way.
Shifting now somehow acts like a kill swich, no clue.
Could I had forgotten to connect something?
Electric?
Clutch gone?
Please help.
