After loaning my Savage out for a few days, it came back running bad. After a new plug, it would start and idle good, but didn't want to take any throttle. It would just stall, unless I used the choke. Once underway, it will run very well, till you stop and come back to a idle. I also replaced the white washer with one half it's thickness. The brass plug is out of the carb, and when screwing it in, I get the engine to slow down, but can't get the throttle to respond off-idle no natter how many turns out I go. I need some ideas or thoughts on the pilot jet. Has anyone went to a larger pilot jet to get the motorcycle to respond. Would this be a symptom of a plugged pilot jet? BTW I have a sportster muffler on it, but have had it on for over a year, with no ill effects, other than the annoying pop under decelleration/ between shifts occasionally. Am running a stock air filter, with no mods to the airbox. Also, I found some(2oz) old gas in the box drain when I removed the plug. Any help appreciated. BTW, it's a 98 model.
