My experience with the .21 bb engine is that it took about a gallon for the temps to drop below 300. It always ran hot. I thought i ruined the engine at the time. Then after a gallon temps went way down to 200-220. I thought the engine might be dead but it hasnt died yet. I got 4 1/2 gallons...
Ya I just dont like how you have to switch between Hyper Pullstarts and the ones for the OFNA and Force and Stock Savage engine. Why dont they make it all universal?
Steve
Ya your right I'm just mad cause I did nothing wrong and stayed close to factory settings so it is still rich and it still ran hot no matter what I did. Well i guess I might have to try one of those Picco .26 or Wasp .26 and trade my engine in for a new one for a 100 bucks.
Thanks for the...
Well at least I know what the problem is but I have never run this engine lean and it was fine for the first 10 tanks then all down hill. Think if I sent it back to HPI they will fix it for me?
The weird thing was that it was hot during break in too. When I wa idling the tank it was at...
Well I have put about 2.5 gallons through the stock .21bb on my Savage. For the first 10 tanks it ran fine without any stalls and I completed the tanks. After about 10 tanks I noticed that the engine would run fine for the first minute or 2 then it would start getting really hot and then vapour...
Well I read somewhere that they can lock together, when you move one (for instance the LS needle it moves the MR) I found an article on how to fix it. So I think the Savage will run great now.
Steve
Well my Savage ran great for the first 4 tanks and then I started playing with needles and messed the Low Speed and Mid-Range needles. Now I can't get them to line up cause when I move one it moves the onther.
Any suggestions Savage Experts?
Steve
LOL, cept I have been running it rich and its running at 260 or a bit more. I havent even got it to shift into second yet. It almost ran away from me too cause the idle was set too high. I'm going to make sure all my needles are running good tomorrow.
Does anybody have a pictures of how much...
Allright thankyou very much. I am going to try and get it up and running again tonight. How many tanks more should I do before starting to lean it out? I am on the 6th tank.
Steve
Thankyou everyone for the fast replies. I'm going to make these adjustments very soon and see if it she will work for me. Also when you have it in stock settings should it go into 2nd gear?
Steve
Also when you mean "back out" does that mean close them or open them?
Thanks a Bundle once...
I just got my Savage yesturday and started to break it in today. I am on the 6th tank and I am in the process of leaning the engine out. It was going very well for the first 4 tanks and now it is getting real hard to start. I found that the problem was a leaking fuel filter. I fixed that and...
