Title: Do I need to change jets?
Post by Skeeter on 06/11/08 at 19:11:32

I just bought a 96 Savage 650. It has a Jardine pipe and it backfires loud when I shut it off. Also it pops when changing gears and it shoots a flame out of the pipe about a foot long and the pipe is discolored where it has been really hot. I was told it was running rich so I took out the air filter to see if more air would help and it now seems worse. I need some advice. Thanks

There are a number of excellent articles in the technical section. Start with this one: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1157720585 and take it from there. Put the air filter back in first, though.

Have ya looked at the plug?
If its running rich, now, what would happen if it was even richer? TRy it, pull the choke out 1/2 way, then al;l the way, & see, cuz it doesnt restrict airflow, it just adds gas, so you can use that, kinda sortaish, while deciding what the carb needs. You could drop the bowl & see what jet you are running.
