well, here is a new one on me! WOW! Well here s my story, Bought my son a new savage x f 4.6 last spring, broke it in and started tuning, always chugged till top of first gear then took off and also would chug until just before high speed needle kicked in,,, Fought this all summer long and fall! well I started to retune it this last weekend due to nice weather, determined to make my sons truck something he wanted to play with, instead of saying don't want it, it wont run right! My son is my side kick going everywhere together, so have been putting it off because I didn't want to mess with it, frustration mostly. Well I went and purchased 3 different plugs, cold, medium, hot........No help. Carb was taken out, recleaned, checked seals, and resealed..... Nope . Well,,,, went to check top of piston to check for signs of problems. What I found! 6 darn shims in the head!!!!! Well there s a new one on me! Back down to 3 where she runs sweet!
