Hey new to the forums here, but I got some problems with my Savage X My savage is having more issues, I had the carb set at factory settings and it was running, not good though, and it would have a ton of smoke and bog down like crazy, it also would not idle. I ended up leaning out the HSN a bit after the motor was warm-ish and it seemed to help it rev a bit higher, so then I leaned out the LSN a little bit, only like an 1/8 of a turn, and it would accelerate faster but then it would stall and die after getting off the throttle at all. If anybody can help at all it would be very appreciated, thanks.

The best way to tune is like this. Set to factory settings. Just like you already did once. Get the engine fully warmed up and set the idle high enough that it will idle, then adjust the HSN first. Ignore any low end bogging when adjusting the hsn. The lsn will fix that. After you have the hsn tuned correctly move on to the lsn. You may find that adjusting the hsn was all you needed to do and the lsn is fine. If thats not the case, adjust it in small increments. The LSN will directly affect the low end acceleration. If it is very boggy on take off, try richening it 1/4 turn. (Always try richer first lol). If that makes it worse (It probably will) turn it clockwise and lean it instead. Now leaning the lsn will make the idle speed go up. Sometimes a lot. You will most likely have to lower the idle as you lean it more. Now you should only lean it to the point that the truck accelerates as sharp as is possible. If you lean it too much it will start to lean bog on take off. (It will make that unmistakeable "chewbacca" sound and there will be little to no smoke). Set it just lean enough that you can jam the throttle after letting it idle for a while and it doesnt bog.
After that just adjust the idle as necesssary and you should be golden.
