So I've been posting about my 99 savage a while now trying to diagnose it s problem. Bike started off fone when I bought it earlier this yr. It has under 6k miles. Bike started back firing after a month of having it. It wasn't loud but sounded like a fart. Puff. Then it got louder. I never did trips over 10 miles & it was mostly 15-35 mph speeds & then after I hot use to the bike I did 40-50 mph trips. I did this because this was my first real bike on the road so I was learning. Well when I finally took it on the highway I got 10 miles away of doing 46-55 mph, may have been in 2nd or 3rd, & the bike backfired or at least made a huge pop, lost all power. Bike completely shut off so I was stranded on the side of the road for an hr. Got a local craigslist mechanic to pick it ip & agreed towork on it. He said he had it running fine, did an oil change & that the battery was shot & so was the power regulator/thing under the back seat. So I rosebud home & got a new battery, charged it & had it running for a couple days & then it died on me. I tried restarting it but no connection. Everyone said to clean the carb. I took it off & no gumming,at least from what I saw. But it's still not starting. I accidentally let go of the throttle while trying to start it & for some reason it started. But haven't had it running since. When I try starting it it sounds like it's trying to start but like it's not catching the spark to connect. It kind of sounds like the muffler is under water. I'm lost & really needing/wanting to ride as it's been 1.5 months. I've resorted to riding the wifes moped just to get that partial feeling. Lol. Fo any help would be appreciated.
