Title: Was that a shotgun in my garage? Post by praetorian on 02/26/07 at 17:04:22 So the savage is running great now...... idles wonderfully.... runs good... accelerates well....shifts smoothly... only problem is the backfire. I know that this is a common issue with the Savage, but based on my searh results, my problem seems to be different than most. I have NO backfire during acceleration or deceleration..... but when I it the kill switch, it sounds like a shotgun going off in my garage. It is TOTALLY unacceptable as far as my homeowners association is concerned. I can be fined by the association for havng a vehicle that backfires in the developement. Any suggestions? |

Post by Reelthing on 02/26/07 at 18:29:50 If the engine was warmed up and there isn't any doubt of air leaks any where - header at the engine and connection at the muffler, intake tube between the carb and the cylinder- you should be able to find the sweet spot that doesn't backfire on shut with very slight adjustments of the idle mixture and idle speed - like 1/16 of a turn or less slight. Until you get it right you can leave it in gear hand on the brake and slowly killit with the clutch. |
