Reinstalling can be a pain. I had the hardest time getting the intake boot straight. It wanted to kink and twist. It might help with access to remove the tank.

Posts: 1147 The Kiewa Valley, Australia Gender:	Re: Reinstall carb Reply #5 - 02/14/17 at 11:38:55 I managed to wrangle mine back in with the rubber boots in place, but I had the seat and tank off at the time. Got it into the outlet boot first, then into the air inlet - watching carefully not to catch or yank anything that could tear the boot.

Shoot some ether in the intake.
That is a handy troubleshooting step.
The Savage will spin over with a battery that won't fire the ignition. It bites newbies all the time. A voltmeter hooked up to read what the voltage drop running the starter is working against compression will tell a lot.

Leave the plug in, pull the plug wire, stick a plug in the wire, ground it, hit start..

Ether is easier.
What did you do to the carb while it was off?

When I got the carb out I just checked all the jets and cleaned everything

Re: Reinstall carb Reply #12 - 02/14/17 at 17:23:23 If you had the plug out to test it, the starter wasn't working against compression. The test only proves that your plug will spark. Doesn't prove the plug is firing while it's installed. The CDI requires a pretty good voltage to spark the plug.

Any certain tester I should get?

I've been explaining step by step instructions.
You're not winning but

I already checked the battery to make sure it was strong enough to spark.

But no explanation of what that test was.

You wanna know if it's able to spark, hang a plug in the plug wire and leave your plug in the engine.
Shoot ether in the intake after you oil the cylinder.
Save the money for a compression tester.
If the compression is low, it'll run crappy.
The difference between how fast it spins over with the plug out and in will tell you if it's got no compression.
