Five months ago I bought a 1987 Savage from a guy on Craigslist. It has a fresh coat of paint, but was all in pieces. I have slowly put it back together (I've never done anything like this before), and I've hit a few snags here and there, i.e. a few missing cables, screws, bolts, washers, brake pads, etc.
Anyway, its about 90% done. I spent Thanksgiving weekend wrestling with the stock carb. Here's what I've done so far.
- Cleaned the heck out of the carburetor multiple times. - White spacer mod, including the Ryca jet kit making the Main Jet 55 and the Pilot Jet 150. - Straight exhaust. Not sure of the brand because I picked it up at Bobs Used Motorcycle Supply here in Phoenix. (Which is a great place to get used parts) - Raptor Petcock. - Cone air filter. - Float needle is new, as are the gasket, jets, and the screws on the top and bottom of the carburetor. - Adjusted the mixture screw according the the Progressive Guide found on this site. (Many thanks for that BTW!) - Vacuum line on the carburetor is plugged.
HERE ARE THE SYMPTOMS The bike starts and runs perfectly... for about 3 seconds. Then it chugs until it dies, which takes another 5-7 seconds.
I haven't had time to test the Coil or the Stator, yet. Although, I have been told it might be bad fuel.
I tested the fuel flow from the Petcock, and it flows beautifully.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated. The weather here is perfect for a good ride, and I'm anxious to get back in the saddle.
