This will fix your half-tank lean issues; if you still run hot, you're gonna have to do some work.... Remove the engine. Take off the roto-backplate/pullstart. Remove the back cover and use a hi-temp gasket sealer from the autoparts store. Now remove the carb and seal the neck. Those NS25s sometimes seem to like leaking air....

I cant remember why people dont tune their engines at half a tank.... Ok, so its a little rich at first, but at least it gives you something to look forward to.....

OK, I have spent a lot of time on this. I've tried numerous fixes including a Hyper 7 tank (2nd favorite fix) and the header tank mod. The best fix is the uniflow setup (hands down). No matter if your backplate is sealed or not you are going to have self-leaning issues with the savage tank. Go to savage-central.com and search for uniflow.

Best for you, you mean.... The "uniflow" setup made NO CHANGE to my leaning issues at ALL... I tried that before everything else because of cost. It just didn't do anything at all for me; I wish it had.

That OFNA tank made it run consistent from top to bottom though...

That's too bad it didn't work out for you. I certainly can't argue that the Ofna tank wasn't effective, I just missed the runtimes. The uniflow was actually the last thing that I tried and my temps do not fluctuate at all.

Tried a search for uniflow and it came back with nothing. Can someone post a link to the actual article or give a brief synopsis of the mod and parts needed?

This is possibly the best forum discussion on uniflow:
