Overall issue is the carb. It was the the problem with both breakdowns. My rebuild kit is on the way. When she runs she runs like a champ. Once I get it situated and jetted correctly I doubt I'll have any issues. My bigger picture was definitely getting more spead out of her.
Never heard back from the HD guy on Craigslist. But I have seen some pretty gorgeous non HD 4 cylinder choppers! Leaves a lot of room for making some amazing custom pipes!
I probably just need to buckle down until the Savage is back in tip top shape and keep my head out of the chopper magazines for a while. I think my big issue is I LOVE building and wrenching as much as I love riding!
