help! savage newbie carb question
01/27/12 at 21:46:57

I just bought a 1986 savage and have noticed while trying to fix this back firing issue that I may be missing a hose or 2. The new nipples that I expect should have hoses are on opposite sides of the Carb in almost the same location just opposite sides of the Carb. I found an illustration that shows one but it won't allow me to post it since I am new if it allows the pic I posted it looks to connect to line 39 . The other is in the almost exact location on the other side of the Carb. Can anyone tell me where these are supposed to connect and what harm they are doind disconnected? Please any help would be appreciated. If u can't view the image they are high on the Carb at the rear facing rearward. Thank you and if there are any savage owners near the Chattanooga are give me a shout. 423-582-1266. If I don't answer a text will usually come thru when service is too crappy for calls. Thank you so much, chris.

Likely what you found is perfectly normal .....

That was my next question because yesterday which was the first time I ever used the choke I had fuel coming out of them, after it ran a bit it stopped but yes was the first day my bike had running problems, ir spit and sputtered under any kind of acceleration and eventually died, I got it restarted after running my battery nearly dead, it sputtered and popped (backfired) some more until finally guess it cleared itself out and ran fine. Any suggestions? The whole trip may have been 3 miles tops and I never got over 50 so. My guess is today it will start and run fine assuming I don't use the choke but who knows...

I just bought the bike and the choke will not stay pulled out so I just sit with the bike until it got warm onough to idle or idled it up slightly til it is warm. It was probably very stupid of me but I wrapped a small rubberbeand around the choke and used it to allow me to but the choke in open or closed position. It worked great as far as starting and warming the bike but when I road it I had sputtering trouble etc. Seemed to run great by the time I got it back to the house Las night. I'm fixing to go buy the lines the Carb is missing now at auto one, my local Suzuki all in one shop said they are prob pretty close to 1/4 in but couldn't tell me for sure. As far as jets I have no clue, I was getting ready to do the back firing fixes listed on here assuming I can find the spacer and needle and I've looked and looked but have no brass plug. I do have a maybe 3/4 in deep hole with a small flatheaded brass screw in it on the high right side of my Carb. Guessing that is it. Also planned to replace the spark plug today too. This is why I asked if there was anyone local around. I know very little about bikes period but am maintenance inclined and learn quickly lets just hope I can get this right lol thank you all for the help and I'll check back here as often as possible

What Verslagen1 said. I was out riding on my 2011 yesterday with only 1100 miles on it and, while filling it up, started draining all over the ground. Took the mini flashlight from my pocket and rapped the carb several times. Stopped leaking right away. So doesn't have to be old or worn out to happen. This solution-trick is old though and a proven one as many including me have found out.
