Braking engine dies

[Evo]

Whenever I run my DBXL now and I go to brake to slow down I have to kinda hit the brake and give it a little gas to keep it running anyone know why? I am tuned it pretty good I mean its probably not perfect but its good. I just don;t know why it started doing this all of a sudden really annoying.

Any info would be great

thanks in advance

Push the throttle rod so the butterfly on the carb is shut. Reset your collar on the linkage. Your "closed" setting probably isn't really closed.

Turn in idle stop screw and check while running when you put brake on till it stops dying

Ya that'll work too lol

I will try the idle screw and see what happens. It's annoying that all of a sudden it started doing it.

Have you cleaned the air filter since you've had it?
These are known to have over-oiled filters.

Just a thought.

Yup first thing I did. I also tore my diffs apart and filled them. I ran fine for about 10 tanks then just the other day I had a decent crash and ever since then it has been acting up.

Is it steady at idle?
Sounds like something might have dislodged, or even bent slightly.
Might be that originally when braking it wasn't fully closing the throttle, but now it is - might be the idle is set low, fuel settings are rich.
Check all of the end points, and the idle and throttle rod settings.
