So, some people say God doesn't perform miracles.
Well, He did in my garage today, because I took a part the carb, clean it and put it back together on a savage that had been sitting almost 2 years.
AND... yes, it ran!
I know this is the norm for you folks 'round these parts, but not for the machine challenged.
My observations:
It is imtimidating.
You don't need to SOAK it like the Clymer suggest
I couldn't get the long needle out and the Clmyer said to only use a plastic tool, so I left it in.
I found out that my bike came from California based upon the extra parts described in the clymer.
There is a breather hose that is not mentioned in the Clymer that is in the way of the carb that need to be disconnected. It wasn't connected but somehow I manage to figure out where it went.
Twice I almost lost the little round white diaphram piece - panic set in
I have never seen BLACK oil like that before when i changed it, before trying to turn it over.
I had forgotten how loud a thumper can be. Beautiful
BTW, the impact driver from Harbor Frieght was the most important tool I had today.
