Base Tune???

[nos707]

Is there a base tune for a Savage 25 motor?

Just bought a Used savage 25, and cant get it to run right!

If the motor is broken in, follow this:

1. Slowly turn your low speed need in all the way closed, then;
2. Turn out low speed needle 2 3/4 turns, then;
3. Set high Speed needle at 2 3/4

That should definetely get you going. If not, they are other problems.

High speed gets adjusted first...
then tune low.

Thanks!

The motor is broken in!

Do I close the high speed needle in too, then wind it out 2 3/4 turns?

As far as i know yes.. You can go to HPI's website and it will show you..or tell you. Is it getting primed fully?

 

[nos707]

Yeah, it gets fully primed! I haven't got the engine manual, so its kinda hard to get a base tune!

Did you look on HPI's Website..they should have the manual online for it.

Yeah, been on the site and downloaded the car instruction manual. But couldn't find an engine manual.
