Bike killing on slow down
10/03/11 at 17:49:56
My 2001 Savage that I purchased a couple of months ago has been dying when I come down to a stop. The previous owner advised that he had removed the white spacer and put in washer half the thickness and all jets were stock. I removed the brass plug on the idle air jet and turned a little cc but that has not solved the problem. I also installed the Raptor petcock and blocked the vacuum line at carb but that has not help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hmmm... You've done a lot of what people will say. Is the idle itself set to low?
Are there modifications to the intake and the exhaust? Maybe you need bigger jets.

I don't believe the idle to too low. It idles fine at any other time. The intake and exhaust are stock. I might consider rejetting.

I had a similar problem. I put in carb cleaner (the whole bottle) mixed with a full tank and it significantly improved. I also have a 2001. Never dies anymore.

I think you might need to go up one richer on low speed jet.

i have a 95 and it did the same thing and still does if i forget to adjust the idle for over a week , takes a little getting used to but it will stop if you raise your idle.. ..so i'd say to tighten your idle srew even if you think its fine and also when you feel its about to die pull in the clutch and rev it a little. but mainly i would tighten the idle screw a bit more any way.
i think it has to do something with after downshifting for a stop your still rolling and taking in alot of air and its too much air for the low amount of fuel your carb is letting through. you will notice it sort of putters before shutting off
a few times i actually had to put bike in nuetral while still rolling and start up the bike again before the light turned green and before anyone else on the road noticed my bike shut off. ahahaha

Thanks Ver - There is so much great info on this site. I had not found this one yet. Just learning about my little thumper and enjoying it.

My bike has this same issue. It only died on me once in the hour i was out, and only under engine braking from 3rd while about right in the middle of the range. Couple little pops and dead she went. Wouldn't fire back up. Swapped her over to prime and it hasn't happened since.
Got the Raptorc0ck on order.
Also, would just a bit of seafoam in the fuel clean up the carb/TEV enough ? or is a pull/clean the better approach ?

I haven't played with the TEV as an individual component.
Only as a total carb clean.
My understanding is that it doesn't see fuel at all, just exposed to the internal air flow. So it collects crap. Sooner or later that crap interferes with operation.

Sea foam is the best way to clean a carb.
