You are definitely due for a Raptor pet...
Turning it off when you park is PPP,... but I only turn it off, if I'm parking in an enclosed space, or pulling the tank...
...(it will only be a problem, if the floats get stuck,... and I prefer it to leak while parked rather than while running)...

Carb rebuild is easy,... and needs no parts. Just disassemble, clean, and reassemble...
Remove grit from the floatbowl and seat... and run a thin wire through all the passages you can find.. (guitar strings, or welding gauges, work well)... also, spray carb cleaner everywhere, especially on the slide (it can collect a putty-like slime, that interferes with smooth operation)...
...since you have fuel in the filter,.. pull the floats, and shake them, to see if they have any fuel in them... also drop them in a cup of liquid, and watch for bubbles...
3 reasons for fuel in the filter... leaky float, bad float needle or seat,... or bad vacuum petcock... with the Savage, it's usually the pet...

External screws can be a booger... once you get them out, consider replacing with Allen heads...

When doing carb work,.. don't think of removing screws as getting to the job,... removing the screws... is the job...
Be careful,... and be patient...
Cool

Its the best and doesn't dissolve the plastic or rubber bits. You can throw the whole thing in there if you like. But works best if you've disassembled the carb.

Sometimes its worth paying the extra for something that works properly, the first time. Plus, the yamalube stuff can be stored in a suitable container and used over and over. Just my 2c, and I only mention it because I've used it and it works.

Chem dip works too, if you do the work properly, and is already in a sealed container you can use multiple times, with a dip basket to put the small parts in so you don't have to fish them out
I have a can of it now I've done like 8 carb cleanings with, no fuss, no muss, and always does the job for me the first time
So why pay 2x the price for less than 1/2 the product, and have to find a suitable container, and a basket to dip with, at extra coast too?
just my 2c

Ok, fine. But I've never used, or seen chem dip and wouldn't know if it attacks rubber parts or gaskets or diaphragms. But I know the other stuff works and its safe for rubber parts, so that's the only product iI would suggest. If you guys have something better and cheaper available, that's fantastic.
Dunno about the chem dip but the yamalube is diluted to make about 3 litres of product, so you get a fair bit to work with. And only need a plastic tub so that's no biggie.
