hesitation in 1st (Read 105 times)

njrmahoney Junior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 51	hesitation in 1st 12/19/12 at 16:04:58 I just got this Savage, and all seems good, except for a slight hesitation in 1st. At least i notice it most when pulling away from a stop. Seems to run fine at higher speeds. And at Idle is smooth. I notice that it runs better with the choke on a little. Anyway, Vacuum leak? Dirty Carb? 5K miles Thanks John

Seemed worse when it was cold. Of course it ran fine when i tested it. I only drove around a parking lot. The bike is cosmetically almost perfect. Starts right away. Maybe I should just wait till spring and check it out then.

Had the same on my new aquisition ('06).
I've only been on here a few months and have seen this symptom come up a bunch of times. It's the stupid arse EPA spacer (just a plastic washer that essentially chokes off the fuel supply) that they stick in making the bike run lean and more green, yet more lame.
When I bought my bike the previous owner was quite keen on leaving the choke on to "warm it up thoroughly", he knew it didn't run perfect without choke. I didn't care as I knew the solution was on this forum.
solution - take out the extra spacer in the carb and put in a thinner nylon washer - look at help pages on here for how, bit fiddly but I'm a monkey and I did it. Now I have no more hesitations or having to leave the choke on.
