One of the interesting traits of the low powered Savage, is that when cruising at highways speeds you can actually get into a situation where you have the throttle open far enough that the main jet is working for extended periods. (Most cars, trucks and motorcycles have so much power that they are only using a fraction of the available power at steady cruising speeds).
When the throttle is opened more than 1/2 and you are using the main jet circuit - it requires a number of things to be working properly. Fuel flow needs to be steady (petcock, fuel line, float needle/seat, fuel tank vent), the carb circuits need to be clean and the jetting properly sized, the ignition system (spark plug, coil, ignition box, battery, charging circuit) needs to be able to provide a good spark, and the air cleaner needs to be able to provide the needed air supply.
