I'm new here and recently bought a 96 savage. I took the carb apart to clean it since it hadn't ran in a year. I cleaned it but all the jets were tightened all the way down. Is this right for the  bike being completely stock? If not what should they be set at?

A 1996 savage should have a 52.5 pilot and a 145 main jet
(notice I changed out my main for a 152.5)
here is what those jets look like

The mixture screw in the post above is turned out 3 turns (preset)
If your bike is still running lean and you have a stock muffler then its recommended you go to a 150 main

You never want to go more out then 3 full turns as the mixture screw it prone to fall out
