1995 Savage won't start
12/03/12 at 15:10:12
Hi,
Brand new owner of a 1995 Savage. Bought off ebay a few weeks ago. 1995 very clean with 3K miles. Want to make this a bobber VIA bluecollarbobber.com.. Anyway, I get the bike home and it will not start! The dude I bought it from said his neighbor just "tuned" the carb. It ran fine during the test drive and the 10 minutes I rode it when I got home.. Turns over but just won't start..
I removed the tank, Drained the gas, checked for spark
. All good.. I'm about to remove the carb (scared) and try to re-jet.. I saw some carb kit on eBay for like $40.00. Any help would be great. I really don't want to take that carb off.. Is the compression to low maybe? I don't even know how to check that.. Thx Kidstendo, Illinois

Hi,
I'm no expert but i think you should ck and see if carburetor is getting fuel from the petcock valve before remiving carb from engine! perhaps a stock float? try tapping on the carb. bowl, (Light tapping)
My 2 cents.

if it ran when you got it, I don't think it's too far out of line to start again.
1st thing I'd do would be to check the voltage while starting, anything less than 10v and it ain't gonna start.
so all you might have to do is charge the battery.
also, don't fry the starter with a lot of long winded starts.
no more than 30 seconds and leave it to cool for 5 minutes. reach down there and grab it, if it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to start.

Thanks! I'm assuming I should be getting 10V at the starter? I'll find the starter.. I did recharge the battery as well. I never crank it more then 5-6 times and I'm done. I'm assuming the starter is somewhere obvious since you said bend down and feel if it's warm.. I will try. THANKS!

The starter is very easy to find. It is the cylinder shaped part on top of the crankcase directly behind the cylinder(it is laying flat by the way
)
To really help you out you need to go to the Technical Documents section,then scroll down and click on Table of Contents and under the heading "Documentation" click on "online manuals". There are some downloadable service manuals there that you really need before you tear into anything unless you have prior MC mechanical experience.
Good luck!
