Re: Turning an adjustment screw.
Start by looking carefully at where it is, GEntly close it,keeping Very Careful count of how many turns to close,  its a tiny pointy brass thing, dont do more than fingertip torque, all you wanna do is know how many turns out it is Now, so if you get it running weird, you can find "Square One" and start over,, A little mark with a marker where one end of the slot is for start point is not a bad idea. Adjustment can get in the 1/8th turn kinda department. I went for a ride with a pocket screwdriver. Rode and felt of it, making minute adjustments at stops.. Not often do ya catch me glad to get caught at a red lite..

And, If ya wanna save some $$$ and still have a Great penetrating oil.
Get a quart of acetone. Mix it 50-50 with transmission fluid. I use a Zoom-Oil container to hold a small amount and have a metal quart can( one of the earlier acetone quarts) pre-mixed and ready to refill the Zoom Oil container. It wont evaporate away too quickly IF you pull the tube out snugly into the fully extended position and keep the red tip on it. It Will lose some acetone over time, but the trans fluid and acetone will seperate  and you can add a dash of acetone when it needs some. Also, if the wife is buying Fingernai; Polish remover in those tiny little bottles that cost $3.00 you can refill that enough times to make the quart not just free, but youll save $$$.
I have a pretty significant sized area on a shelving unit dedicated to lubricants and penetrants. Ive had this shop for , Im thinking about 5 yeaars.. To the best of my knowledge there has never been a can of WD 40 even IN it.. Wintergreen oil works well, but is expensive. Kroil works okay, but not as well as this mixture and costs as much for a pint as the quart of acetone. I scraped a piece of oil field junk up outta the ground with the back hoe and it had 3 threaded bits on it. 2 were wingnuts. I hit all of them with a dose of this mix every day for a week or so and they all came apart w/o wrecking anything. IDK exactly what its made of, it wasnt all caked in rust. Im pretty sure it had been in the dirt for more than 10 years, It does hold a magnet and sparks on the grinder, but what it is,, I dunno..

eh, got that in spades. i was thinking of getting one of those buffing wheels and just using my drill but i guess that would be cheating?

If anyone can still find this stuff, it is THE single Magic ingredient for a detail job, auto or bike.
100% silicone oil. Its very expensive if bought AS silicone oil,, But, back in the day, it was used in copiers and now, people who do copier sales and service have it left over, cuz its rarely used any more. Call around, ask for Fuser Oil,, theyll ask what machine, what model, tell them it doesnt matter,, cuz it doesnt, you just want the oil. Some is thicker, none is like water, it lasts for a VERY long time & there are no CFCs to evaporate away, leaving you with a cracked dash, like Armorall does..
You get the dirt off a dash and pull a piece of T shirt tight across a coupla fingertips and rub it in. In 2 weeks itll need done again,if the thing was dry,, then, itll last 6 months or more.. BUT, for a bike,Start with that, get all the plastic & rubber,, then, when the rag with the wax on it bumps against it, it wont turn white,, It wont hurt paint, either,,
Ive tried several brands and never seen it attack a plastic, softening it or affecting it in any negative way, all good, BUT,, I wouldnt ever just go spread something on my dash,, so, pick a spot, small, inconspicuous, apply liberally, fingernail & eyeball tomorrow,,
I pay as little as $5.00 a pint, which is $40.00 a gallon,, online, a gallon is like $140.00 or so,, AND, a pint will last for years.. it spreads out and does a fine job,, Take a 20 year old dash, clean it up, apply, wait 2 weeks, hit it again and that plastic is rejuvenated and will go for years before its back to as dry as it was before the first application.. Dont leave it wet, rub it in, spread it thin,till it feels dry, but looks wet. Or, itll catch dust,,

How many cylinders does Your Savage HAVE?

spark plugged changed, looking at this one it looks.. fine?

IMHO, maybe just a tad on the rich side.
