Title: Re: starting Post by Trippah on 01/04/11 at 19:03:04 As you know, it's fuel or fire. If it is cranking but not firing, first check the petcock..setting it on prime and try it again.....and it wouldn't hurt to check a few of the grounds for cleanliness and tightness.....then the fun begins. Oh, and Happy New Year. |

Title: Re: starting Post by verslagen1 on 01/04/11 at 21:38:43 To run you need 3 things, fuel, air and fire. lets count fuel as being checked. air, open the air box and check the filter. is it wet? oil or gas in the bottom of the airbox? fire, if you have a spare plug, pull the sparkplug lead and plug the spare in. ground it on the cylinder head. turn it over and watch the spark. |

Had to do as JOG said on mine. I had re-jetted the bike to be less lean. Well, the Choke is actually a fuel enrichment circuit and not a plate in the carb. On my previous bikes I always had to tweak the throttle when starting. On the Savage, only when I didn't use the choke. If the choke was on and I tweaked the throttle I flooded it. Yes, for the first few cold starts, I flooded the carb a bunch. |

Title: Re: starting Post by royblueboy on 01/05/11 at 20:34:03 thanks for the advice, no time to work on it today, hopefully tommorow |

Title: Re: starting Post by Routy on 01/06/11 at 05:22:11 Make sure its cranking at normal speed. If it sounds slow, it may be the problem. In my expreience, my bike (mostly stock) doesn't appear to flood easily, but it does have to crank at a good speed in this colder weather. |

Title: Re: starting Post by royblueboy on 01/06/11 at 19:06:49 i checked the sparkplug, it is dead. will get another one tommorow. thanks for all the advice. |

Title: Re: starting Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/06/11 at 22:35:53 How did you come to know the plug is no good? |

And if you don't have a spare plug, just stick your finger in the wire where the plug goes. If it feels good, you've found the problem ;D |

Title: Re: starting Post by royblueboy on 01/07/11 at 19:44:09 i checked out the fuel system, it checked good. checked all connections under seat, removed tank & pulled wire off plug and stuck a mower plug in that was good ,it fired. so that just left the plug. just got everything together an hour ago, it fired right up. |
