No engine brake

[bbsummit1]

I used to have a 09 that when I was going down a steep hill the engine brake would almost stop me. Now I have a 12 summit sp and the darn thing going down hill won't kick in to the braking part. I have tried burping it and all that happens is I get going faster. Any help

Clutch kit

Its been like this since new. Someone said to check my belt deflection

 

[tex78]

U need a clutch kit

A etech idles so low it drops the belt sooner than a carbed ptek

Clutch kit it is then

It's all in the clutch setup.

The idle has nothing to do with it .
It's in the ramp profile .

Idle is lower and sooner, does make a difference

Not sure what a 12 has for ramps, but suggest a d.j kit as that's what my 10 has and never needs brakes
