Savage X fuel mix ?
OK, first of all, this is my first Nitro of any kind. I'm learning, but at a VERY slow pace!!
I got my Savage broke in per manufacturer directions (1 tank at idle, 2 tanks half throttle in a circle. Then a tank at half throttle for a couple of seconds, let off, do again until the tank went dry). Per the manual, that's four tanks and I should be broken in and ready to go!
I'm now working on leaning out the carb to "get maximum performance". I'm about 3/4's of a turn to the high speed screw, and at my experience level, it's running plenty fast for me until I get a little more used to it.
My question is this: At 3/4 turn into "lean", my temps are running 180 to 190. The manual says I should set it to run between 190 and 250. So, am I hurting anything by keeping it where it's at for a few more tanks until I get used to the handling, or should I lean it out until I'm running temps in the 220 range and just stay out of the throttle until I get the hang of things?
Feel free to elaborate on your answer, as any help is appreciated for this rookie!!
