Title: 1991 savage wont start Post by buzzy-taffy on 10/11/16 at 14:11:40 hey guys/girls did close to 1000 miles on the bike the other week and on the way to home my bike died. was doing 70 down the motorway bike started to to splutter and bog down backed off to 60 rode fine for a bit but then started again backed off to 50 same result and this kept happening to the point where i cant get the bike to accelerate and a week later of trying to fix this issue the bike wont start now well it will but barely then die. so far myself and a mechanic have: new petcock (manual over vacuum) cleaned the carb twice adjust the float put standard spark plug in instead of the iridium one put a fresh tank of petrol in before it gave up (used the posh stuff) the bike is mostly stock engine wise all i had done to it was iridium plug oil and filter change ryca header pipe and a shorty muffler any suggestions of what is causeing this and if one of you lovely people know the solution please let me know. driving me mad not being on my bike having to cycle to work. |

Title: Re: 1991 savage wont start Post by stewmills on 10/11/16 at 21:00:57 Assuming you don't have a CA bike, mske sure your gas cap is venting. If not, it creates a vapor lock and won't let fuel flow out. It's probably not the issue, but worth checking. Remember, you need 3 things to run: Fuel Oxygen Fire/spark Which one of yours is missing or impeded is what you need to figure out? If it is exhaust related (since you changed that) batman has a point...are you plugged causing a problem with your air flow? What about the air filter? |

Title: Re: 1991 savage wont start Post by buzzy-taffy on 10/12/16 at 15:56:48 thanks for all the replies guys will have a look at these areas when i get the time this week. i was thinking after looking at the manual could the automatic decompression thingy need adjusting as the bike hasnt long gone past the 10,000 mile mark which if memory serves me correct is when this all started |

Title: Re: 1991 savage wont start Post by stewmills on 10/12/16 at 18:43:27 I think the decomp just relieves the compression momentarily so the piston doesn't bind on the compression stroke. If yours always spins over when you engage the starter it is all working fine. I think the 10k mile thingy you are referring to is the cam chain tensioner. |

Title: Re: 1991 savage wont start Post by batman on 10/13/16 at 18:38:32 I brought up the muffler because I had a pickup truck that acted the same way in my case it was a plugged converter ,but a muffler would tend to do the same. drop the muffler and see if the bike will start and idle with just the header pipe (the neighbors will love you) if you rev it it'll just breakup (no back pressure). |

Title: Re: 1991 savage wont start Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/13/16 at 19:59:44 Gotta have Fuel Air Compression Spark Pull the plug wire off, poke a plug in, ground it, hit start. Got spark? Put the wire back, Remove, inspect the air filter, Squirt some ether in the air box hit start. |
