    In need of a Collet for the x4.6

    Hey guys, so as some of you may have seen on my other post, I need a collet to complete my savage clutch rebuild. The last one was incredibly worn and had a crack at the base of it.

Started her up today (2/5/17) and was having some poor performance (seemed it was running rich, no surprise there) went to re tune and things have gone to complete crap.
