Tuning my sons Savage x 4.6 rtr

[Winndaddy]

Alright, seems like the truck is close to were it needs to be but since I'm new at this i will ask anyway. When starting the truck i usually have to give it a little throttle for it to crank. The truck does not run ok at first and seems fat. After about 3 to 4 high speed runs it starts to come alive and runs awsome. The temperture when its warmed up and running good, is at 250f. By the way, the lsn is at factory and hsp is maybe 3/4 turn in from flush. What is causing the initial poor performance?

this is a normal condition winn . i usually turn the throttle trim up a bit when starting

 

[fluxinator]

its most likely the extra fuel left inside the motor when trying to start causing the motor to bog down. I do the same as mickey so the rpms stay up preventing the motor from shutting down when its bogging when the motor starts.

Your coverd. Happy bashn.

ya when starting, turn the throttle trim up a tad,then when its running turn it back to center "straight up" or until idle goes back to normal....

Thats what i been doing with the trim. I was just wonder if it was normal for a truck to take a while before coming to life. Also if you just run the truck slow you have to clear it out for it to haul butt.

you might be a bit on the rich side

 

[wildchild27]

Thank ya'll, but i already have another problem. I had the brakes ajusted to were the truck could actually do an endo on to its head. I noticed that there was a clicking sound coming from the front diff. After tearing it appart i noticed that the gear that meshes to the differentials big gear was missing teeth. The only problem now is remembering were all the screws go!!!! PS Micky, I think the photo of your kid is great, but it makes me think thats whos on the other end.lol

Yep, i know what you mean. I also have a son and before you know it yours will be starting kindergarden, then 1st,2nd, and so on till he's 12 like mine and starts to know it all. The best times are when they're cute and adorable like your's now. There's nothing like the love you have for your kid!! Sorry but I'm kind of getting mushy thinking back to those days.
