RE: HELP MY SAVAGE WONT RUN
If you guys have a roto, just plug the exhaust with your finger and bump it with split seconds bumps about 4-5 times. You will feel it tighten a bit if you do it anymore than that, but it won't flood unless you REALLY overdo it.
Beats blowing through the line plus, with all of the tuning issues 25s have, you should have fresh tubing with ty-wraps all around...

RE: HELP MY SAVAGE WONT RUN
i just saw something that may also give you troubles.
the fuel line going to the carb should not be in contact with anything hot (the head, block, exaust pipe or header).
try and keep it at least a 1/2 inch away from hot stuff or you may run into an engine that has simptoms simmilar to an air leak.

RE: HELP MY SAVAGE WONT RUN
thanks guys... zip-ties i understand! I dunno, these yanks with their hookey language :P
whilst we are on the subject on fuel line aesthetics does anyone know where I can get steel braid to cover my lines with? I know it will not do a thing for my performance and will just make it harder(impossible) to see the fuel in the tube, but nice shiny braided hoses would look the dogs danglers! ... and if you have done it, u got a pic?
