Title: carburetor adjustment
Post by nuckols1109 on 11/29/03 at 09:44:15
I am a new member and have just bought a 1996 savage.  The previous owner put on a supertrapp exhuast system and I think he made attempts to adjust the fuel/air screw.  What is it suppose to be set at one,one and a half or two turns?  How do I tell if it is at peak setting?  I have changed the plug twice because it is burning rich and I can't seem to get it right.  Please help.  ???

for what its worth,
 take the bike to a good shop that has a dyno and knows about the savage.the only way to truely get all you can out of a bike especially after changing the exhaust is to have the carb reset and or needle changedand dyno run to be sure its not running too rich or to lean and to get all horses out of as you can.

Start at 1 1/2 or 2 turns out, start with about an 1/8 turn and go up a little waiting abit in between each adjustment.  listen to the revs, you are trying to peak out the rpms.  difficult at 1st cause you haven't listen to it as much as a barking sgt.  but you get the hang of it.  About a half turn and it should be about to die in either direction.

You got a '96, how many miles?  Where you at?

v1 has offered the good advise, for sure thats the 1st place to look. since the the plug for the fuel screw has been removed the po may have been further into the carb innards. so be prepared to pull the carb if adjusting the fuel screw doesn't work out.
