Yes, thank you Yonuh for the steps!!! I did not mean to leave anyone out, yesterday was a whirlwind of activity for me!! Gotta work for the next two days so the thumper will get to rest. Don't ya hate how work gets in the way of riding?

Having a great time riding my Savage. I laid it over yesterday and broke the right mirror off, but found a part and my Father replaced it for me. He and I went riding, it took 31 years for a ride together! My Father built his '72 Triumph from the ground up. When he pulled up on it I realized it was a thumper too! He told me that he knew the engine well and loved to tinker with mods... At this point I passed out    I do believe the first thing I want to do is make the engine run richer.. It's so lean and that was the reason for the lay over yesterday... it died in a turn..

If you are in need of a manual check out the Tech section. I believe Kropatchek put a link to one on there. When I ride on a long trip I keep an exploded view, Clymers manual, and the owners manual with me... on my Notebook. Came in hand once already to get me back on the road!

Glad to hear of another Savage rider! Welcome
