I can feel it doesn't bog as much as it did when revving high and shifting like it did. That's how I can explain the difference in performance.

What's your top speed now?
What is it doing that indicates the engine is using fuel faster than it flows into the bowl?
Have you tried putting it on prime and see if it acts different?

And your reply

Not even almost answers.
Tell ya what, I don't wanna be responsible for running you off, so, iim gonna just let the other guys guide you. I clearly know nothing, so you're not hurt if I just shut up. You built your own tensioner mod, so, Verslagen won't be sending me my five bucks, I think im just gonna let you learn from others, and there are plenty who know everything I know and more. You're just frustrating to me. Good luck.

Sorry? I never said you knew nothing, and I thanked you all for the help. You think I'm being a thingy when I''m not. Why are we arguing anyway. geez
So what I didn't answer about the fuel in the bowl, I don't know about that yet. You asked how it ran after the mod, your first question. Then I answered by telling you the speeds I ran at. That was your answer. I didn't answer the other two because I didn't know. Maybe next time Ill be like "For your other two questions, there is no answer' so its clarified for you. what do you want from me? I took your guys' advice, and it worked. That's all. Never did I mention that you guys get commission from verslagen either, don't know where that came from. Tongue

Don't worry about it... We are sometimes curt to noobie concerns, because we have been here so long and we have repeated advice so many times...
You have saved yourself from a bad engine problem... That's good...

As far as top speed,... I wouldn't worry about it...
The bike will break any legal speed limit, and as a new rider, and a younger person, you're safer and you'll save a fortune in insurance by staying within the speed limit...

Rubber Side Down,.. as they say...

yeah, speeding's overrated unless you're in a hurry. If you ride too fast people can't see how cool you look Wink

.
Rode a KTM Superduke a while back: At 250 kph (go to jail speed) it felt great. At the speed limit (100), pretty dull. It's not worth it to me. I get the same giggles from the Cabbage at 100 as the KTM gave at warp speed.
If you hold wide open throttle for several minutes you might find your Savage's actual top speed. It will sound like it's going to fly apart, but it won't. Not now you've fixed the tensioner. Good work and well done.
And like Rowboat said, ride safe.

where the hell were you guys for the past three years??? After doing the carb mod, twice, since the first time gave me results I liked, So I went back for seconds... I went nutz trying to figure out why the darn bike kept boggin out and trying to kill me in traffic, before I re adjusted the float to actually FILL the bowl.... Holy smoke what a difference!

Yea. I can easily accelerate to 57 within in a few seconds ( the torque on this bike man equates to really fast off the line speed) ...at about 66 I felt I could have opened up a bit more and gotten up to 75 if I held it wide open. Plus 60 on this small bike feels faster than it does in a car or larger bike, so its small size adds a lot of fun factor to riding at those speeds . however 65 is fast enough for me for now haha

I hit 94mph one time... 6 or 7 years ago...
I was chasing my friends, with an 1 1/2 head start, to Patagonia... with a 75 mile head start...
I did catch them before they finished lunch,... and got to ride back with them...
I have since wondered if I can still do 94,.. or maybe better.... but why?...
It's not a speed I want to go... and I don't want the fine...
So,... I've never tried again...

One day,.. when the wind is with me,.. and the trend is downhill...
I may try for the "ton"...
... but,... all things being in order, I may not...
It would only be to say I did...
And what matter of that?... Huh

What is the age of your tyres?
