Default savage 21 break in

i have found that the 4 extra pumps isn't the best way to start it. i pump it till the fuel reaches the carb, then i attach the igniter and pull a few times then pump it twice, pull a few more times pump it once, continue to pull, and so on.... it usually will fire on or about the fourth pump but this way you're not stuffing all the fuel in at once thus causing it to flood. also i have my throttle trim on the radio(rx) adjusted so that it is open about 1\3
CAUTION!!!!! WHEN DOING THIS HAVE YOUR TRUCK PARKED FACING SOME THING IMMOVABLE LIKE YOUR CAR TIRE, SIDE OF A BUILDING, OR SOME THING CLOSE. THIS IS TO AVOID A RUNAWAY IF YOU CAN'T GET TO YOUR RADIO QUICKLY TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. hope this helps.
