Hesitation Bogging Savage X

[R6 DADDY]

hi everyone i got my svage drivin tonight limited throttle on tranny to 50% but when i accelerate it crackles and hesitates befor it pisks up then when driven through that it does it further up the rev range could it be rich on hsn and lsn???
:eyecrazy:

what engine? k4.6? mine used to bog and i just needed to tweak the high speed needle to fix it. weather conditions threw it off slightly and lost a bit of tuning

 

[R6 DADDY]

hi its the 4.1 i hvent managed to get second gear yet its still quick but its not right i acn tell by the sound it makes

 

[polystyrene]

i reckon put everything back to factory setting then retune on the high speed needle. drastic maybe but its what i used to do when it wasnt running right.

then check the adjustment on the gearbox. set to factory setting aswell and tune from there once engine is tuned.

 

[R6 DADDY]

hi gearbox hasn't been moved at all still as it came out of the box so i am thinkin it is carb adjustment holding it back possibly !!!

 

[Jeremy]

I think your too lean

R6DADDY DO NOT TRY TO CHASE A TUNE!!! You can go to lean and blow the engine. Do not mess with the lsn untill you have the hsn right! for the f4.1 which i had on my X do 1/8th turns on the needle untill your getting full speed. you should only have to move the lsn a 1/8th to a 1/4 turn at the most. if you miss the tune on the hsn reset it to factory and do it a gain. Not to scare you but listen to me closely. some X's get half tank lean condition. this is what to look for. when you tune tune on a full tank and keep the tank full. tune when the engine is up to temp. half tank lean is what it says. when you are running everything is perfect trucks running good then when you hit around a half a tank everything goes to pot. the truck goes lean and starts to starve for fuel. some trucks get it some don't hopefully yours will not. my x got it my ssx didn't. just watch for it.

I can with my single fiber disk brake, might help that I have a linkage mod which allows for more adjustment, and that I have modded the disk slightly.:hammerhit:

Got twins on mine,be careful tho as they stripped some teeth off my front diff gears,make sure you have a good mesh then you can endie to your hearts content,managed a four footer last week,which was cool.

 

[[hs] darkshine]

twins can be a pain in the a$$, but the plastic stock is useless stopping a heavy truck...:shtgn:

 

[R6 DADDY]

does the twin disk conversion fit the x i have heard that they may not fit
is this true ????

 

[R6 DADDY]

have any of you carried out the linkage mod or is the disk conversion enough ???:chainkiller:

 

[JohnH]

the dual disk is enough. but the linkage mod gets rid of the slop. yes it fits the X whoever told you it doesn't is wrong. you have to mount the kit and slowly adjust it in if not you will do nice front flips but you will fade out the breaks. i hope you are doing the throttle adjustments when the engine worms up.

 

[Jeremy]

Iam working on my throttle mod right now Ill tell u how it goes

 

[R6 DADDY]

ok thanks keep me informed also where did you get the linkages

 

[JohnH]

ofna makes a generic linkage kit in 5 or 6 colors.

 

[R6 DADDY]

Any Ideas Where We Can Get Them From In The Uk

 

[JohnH]

you cn do it with out the kit but you will need some great planes parts. horizon sells the kit. i will link you.

[j man]

engine is hesitating and bogging

my new savage x 4.6 hesitates and boggs before reaching full speed.
HOW DO I FIX IT?

 

[JohnH]

Sounds like your way lean. back off the high speed needle a 1/4 turn.
