I picked this savage up at a yard sale for 25 bucks because no one bought it, probably shoulda been my first clue, probably something fatally wrong that I didn't see, I'm in it a receiver, my radio for the electrics supports ten models, glow plug igniter, fuel, and the little bit to stick in the end of a drill. I've googled, youtubed, all of it, and spent about an hour tuning, and it just wont run with any real power. It doesnt run at all with the carb at base settings, it has to be leaned out quite a bit to make it run, high and low, and just. I don't know, would a glow plug cause this? Crack in the motor or a bad seal? I did say I have to lean it out quite a bit, but at the top end it actually runs alright and still smokes decently, coats the chassis in oil out the exhaust. accelerating it just doesnt wanna do much. And I'd love to test any theories, but I'm out a pinion on the clutch bell till wednesday. If anyone could help a newbie out, i'd greatly appreciate it.
