RC2013 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Was blasting the marder out today and it died on me. When trying to start it it took a while but when it did it just wanted to drive off. Now the clutch is constantly engaged and will not idle stationery. Obviously now when it comes to a halt it dies out. Any ideas whats wrong here?
