So I got me a title! New bike cost me $200 + driving
I picked up a local bike for the title but Im happy to say it runs, only 7000 miles but it needs a headplug which I bought from Verslavy already.
Now I have 2001 and 2002 or is it 2002 and 2003, both run. I just installed a 52.5 pilot with a 152.5 main on 1 bike, 2 washers on the heedle and a raptor petcock. I want to do a 55 pilot and a 155 main with 2 washers on the needle to the other bike but first I have to do the head plug.
So My past 2 Savages ran great with 55 pilot and 152.5 main 2 #4washers and 3 turns out on the pilot screw, I've even ran a debaffled Jardine muffler for a day with no problems with jetting related
I do already have a Raptor petcock on the shelf as that's the first thing I replace on any bike I get, Why would you want to worry about your fuel tank not giving you enough fuel? The Raptor petcock is a 100% fix for fuel starvation. I bought the knock off, off of ebay and the fuel feed nipple is the same size diameter, just a little less clamping area as it's shorter
Why does everyone tune their carbs so lean? Back in the day the 87's came with an adjustable needle, a 55 pilot and 155 main jet and 3 turns out on the pilot mixture screw
My bikes ran mint like that but a little rich
On my new to me Savage Im gonna try using a 52.5 pilot and hope that runs well with the k&n filter I'll be installing, i want to see what the mpg looks like because it sucked with a 55 pilot I ran a 50 pilot and 150 main with 2 #4 washers but the bike felt slugish
I like how the bike ran with a muffler like the Jardine bafflled, my bike also ran well with a Mac performance muffler but I ran it with a 152.5 main jet before
Who doesn't like the reliability of a single cylinder bike which is easy to maintain?
