Default Savage 25...top end/shifting problem

I have had my Savage 25 for about 6 months and have only used about 1 1/2 gallons of 20% fuel. The last few times I ran it, it had some problems. When it is at its shift point sometimes it hesitates...and makes a sound like....eh..eh...eh...ehhh. Like it is going from full throttle to idle a bunch of times. I have tried to change the shift point...and retune it, but nothing helps. It also makes that sound when it as at full throttle usually.

any help is appreciated...Thanks,
Mark

Default RE: Savage 25...top end/shifting problem

It sound like it is leaning out under full throttle. If richening the HSN has not corrected the problem. Then there is an air leak, a fuel supply problem or your glow plug is failing.

Air Leak:
- Carburetor leaking air around the base
- Back plate leaking air.

Fuel supply problem:
- Hole in fuel line
- Hole in Pressure line
- Fuel tank lid not sealing
- Hole in fuel tank

You will never sort out shifting until you get the engine tuned.

There are a number of threads that address these issues. Do a search.
