Dear Savage Forum,
This is my first thread, so please be nice . I have had some Nitro experience when I was a kid; now 20 years later with kids on my own, I bought a slightly used Octane (muffler still in shiny black - about two tanks in, according to the previous owner).
After running it for about 6 more tanks on my own, I still face an annoying issue:
I run the truck for about 5 minutes and it goes great - wheelies, spins, etc. Then it slows down and does not react to any throttle movements. It clearly sounds it is about to die momentarily and guess what - it does. Getting it going again directly after is impossible, it just won't start - regardless how many pulls or choke position. I have to wait about 5 more minutes to get it going again; only to see it stalling again after a couple of minutes.
It appears to be a heat issue but the heatsink is not really hot: I can still touch it with my bare hands.
Of course, I read many threads on this and other forums and here is what I've tried so far:
Thanks guys, I deeply appreciate your thoughts on this .
Cheers!

- Replaced CDI system
- Replaced Spark Plug
- Fresh fuel
- Cleaned Air Filter
- Reset Carb to factory settings
Thanks guys, I deeply appreciate your thoughts on this .
