Some of you may have read my intro, I am fixing up a savage for a coworker, it's been in storage for 10 years so first thing I did was open up the carb and clean it, it was dry but the jets were plugged and the needle and seat were junk, I replaced the needle and seat, bought a Raptor petcock, new gas in tank, new battery. it will start and idle, but that's it if you try to give it any gas it backfires out the exhaust and stalls, also the mixture screw seems to have no effect on the way it runs except if you turn it all the way in it will stall, anything from 1/8 out to 3 turns out makes no diff. I noticed when cleaning the pilot jet there are no holes on its sides like the one shown in the picture on the download cd, is this normal? also the opening on the screwdriver slot end of the jet is much larger than the other end, again normal? everything else in the carb looks good, no tears in the plunger diaphragm, the small diaphragm on the side looks good also, float level is good, no fuel pouring out the bowl vents, I blew compressed air through all passages, all seem clear, any ideas? New spark plug also!
