Sorry for the recent post that told you all nothing. I was feeling defeated. Lol. But guess who is riding?!! When I put the rapture petcock on it fired right up, then things went south...very south. At the time I last posted I didn't know what the cause was, but, All the sudden, it wouldn't start. Cam chain tensioner came apart. It wasn't damaged, didn't see any damaged on plates or teeth (thank goodness). I had a buddy of mine weld a washer to the tensioner. This poor girl can't afford the one they sell. When he said he'd have me riding by morning, I thought I was home free. What that really meant was I was going to spend the next 12 hours (maybe it was more) with him walking me through doing everything myself. So guess who learned to adjust a cam chain! Nightmare. Learned to check my jets (one was clogged), The sun was almost up, I was hungry, frustrated almost to the point of tears (hey I am still a girl. Lol), and something amazing happened.... I finally got to ride my Savage! All smiles!!! It's and old bike, and I know it's going to require constant upkeep, but I'll get through it again. I just wanted to say this is an awesome group of people! I searched this site and learned sooooo much from you all putting things in plain English. I went here first, Clymer second. Lol.
