Title: Tilted bike and starting issues Post by Jake on 09/24/04 at 05:40:56 Hi all, I am new to this group but not to the Savage. My bike has a funny quirck and I was wondering if anyone has seen this odd starting issue. If the bike has a greater than normal angle due to side stand sink, it starts ok, but when I tilt it straight up to ride, it stalls!  It will restart with a little throttle but runs crappy til I hit the end of the block after leaving the driveway.   Sounds like a float issue,not sure, but it might be a common thing.  Let me know if you have seen this! PS> 1988 Model
