    Fuel Issue

    So I pulled my Savage XL 4.6 out of storage recently and I have been having some fuel delivery issues. The manual says when you need to prime the carburetor you can either place your finger over the exhaust pipe and crank or you can take the line off the exhaust pipe and blow into it to push...

    4.6 Bigblock Help

    So this spring I decided to tear into my Savage again since it broke last summer. I thought I ate another OWB on the rotostart since it wasnt turning over. It turns out the shaft that the bearing sits on, when turned by hand, it does not move the piston. Sometimes you can rotate the shaft by...

    Fuel Questions

    So I recently fixed the stripped clutch bell in my Savage XL and while I was doing a little bit of cleaning, some water has entered the gas tank. It wasnt a lot just enough to leave some droplets and a tiny pool in one corner if you tip the tank, I was able to get most of it out except for these...

One last question, can...

    I need help, can't get Savage 4.6 started

    The plug is dry but the thing is that I will pull the plug out, I can see fuel replenishing itself inside the bowl and when that doesn't work, I tip it side to side and burned fuel (kinda orangish, running backyard basher) comes pouring out the exaust pipe. I think its the cheap ignitor that...

    I need help, can't get Savage 4.6 started

    So, I have recently pulled my 4.6 Big Block Savage out for summer this year because I was determined to get it running. 3 hours in, still absolutely nothing. I have gotten new batteries for igniter, 2 fresh plugs that smoke for a split second when connected to igniter and some fresh fuel. I...
