@Batman: Thanks for the OEM numbers, looking at part pictures now, will pull My current mix screw later and compare to make sure, but there may be some slight differences between the two at the needle point. Still not entirely convinced it's the problem, as My problem is while I'm at speed, not at idle, but it couldn't hurt to try. Cost's insane though, most places so far want about nine bucks for the screw, and several bucks S&H. And I'm quite magnificently broke at the moment, lol. Didn't have time to get to the bike today, and They're talking rain again tomorrow, but the TEV's on the list for re-exam, along with the header and carb mounts.
@Ohiomoto Brother, I agree 100%, but here's the thing: Anyone who so much as mention's this bike's name on the internet gets shoved over here. "Oh, an S40/savage? They have a website for that, You should ask Your questions there. Now scram". So here We all are, and everyone here will push two things: A new petcock (rightfully so, the stock one's crap), and re-jetting and modding the carb. So a newjack's going to do what the "experts" tell them. Any dialog here slams to a halt until You do these two things with this crowd. "Hey guys I'm having X problem." "Did You do the slide mod and rejet?" "Well, no..." "Well obviously that's Your problem!" Yee haw. I've been lurking Thumpertalk, as they seem to have great heaping gobs of info on things You can do with this style of carb, but there's no point in Me posting there, as They'll just send Me here. The S40's not an off-roader either, so yeah.
@Dave: I'm not chopping the throttle, not even close. The decel kabooms I'm getting are from Me already doing what You are recommending; Slow, steady roll off of the throttle. Example 1: I'm cruising at just over 40 with traffic. Traffic starts to slow down gradually. Equally gradually I roll off the throttle, matching speed. KABOOM. Example 2: I'm cruising at just over 50 on an empty stretch (no one behind or directly ahead of Me). I see a traffic light far ahead turn yellow. Time to decelerate. There's no rush though, given My current speed and range to said traffic light. I ever so slowly roll off the throttle. KABOOM. That's why I'm working on this. This isn't from hard/sloppy riding, as I said the bike didn't do this in it's stock config before it broke down. Originally it just ran like crap and did a bunch of small rapid-fire pops when engine braking in second. I am, as You put it, "jetting your carb for what the engine does when it is running - not for what it does when you close the throttle". most engines really don't like you to "crack or slam" the throttle open or closed instantly, and respond better to having the throttle rolled on or off. You're not actually reading what I've been posting, are You? At no point have I stated anything to this nature. I know how to operate a bike, I don't beat the thing like it owes Me money. Especially on this bike, it's to temperamental to treat harshly. Now those Harley Street 500's I was on at the MSF course a few years ago, those bikes could take some abuse. Newer tech though. and you can learn to work with the bike and become a "rider"! Really dude? And what do You think I am now? The muffler's stock, by the way. Everything is, accept for the Raptor petcock and carb mods, both of which are religiously pushed by this very website.
Will probably tinker with it over the weekend, considering putting it back to stock (white spacer, 145 main) just to see what happens.
