Ok guys I need your expert opinion. While I bash my truck starts off perfect and runs like how a savage should. However when I get to mid tank my motor just stops. Here is the list of what I did:
-richened the motor
-changed the fuel tubing
-cheeked for leaks on my tank
When I changed the fuel tubing from neon orange to clear blue I realized that the fuel stops going to the carb and even when I re prime the motor it will start but then again the fuel will stop going in to the tube and motor cuts out.
I am totaly clueless so please help me guys.
 
Look up the "half tank lean" issue, it plagues every savage because of how the stock fuel tank is designed. when i had the stock tank i ran what is called the "uniflow" mod. Its where you place fuel tube in the cap where the pressure line is coming from the pipe, and it goes all the way to the bottom of the tank creating a even pressure for the fuel the whole tank through. I added a "one way" valve between the tank and pipe, because when you prime the tank in this configuration fuel tends to want to escape through the pressure line and through the pipe....the valve keeps this from happening.

Idont think this is the normal mid tank lean. This is diffrent the fuel stops flowing at midtank it doesnt lean out.
 
what pipe and tank are you running?

also, can you switch back to your original tubing and see if it fixes the problems?
