Default My New Savage,I NEED ADVICE ON ADJUSTING?

I JUST FINISHED RUNNING MY SIXTH TANK THROUGH MY NEW SAVAGE AND I STARTED TO TWEAK THE HIGH SPEED IDLE AND LOW SPEED IDLE. HOW LONG DO I WAIT BETWEEN ADJUSTMENTS AND HOW WILL I KNOW IT'S RIGHT? THANKS.

Adjust your HSN first, don't touch your LSN yet. Your only on your 7th tank, technically still breakin in. Just lean out HSN 1/12th of a clockwise turn. Think of numbers on a clock, each move to the next number is a twelth. Also before adjusting let it get up to run temp, fill up gas tank then adjust with engine running, you don't want to adjust when yank below 1/2 tank, becaus eit automatically leans it self out. Just make sure you always have a trail of s,oke comming out your stinger. get a temp gauge you want to run around 250-260...

you should adjust the savage at around 1/ tank because when it leans out... it goes WAY up in temps.... now if you set your truck to run at 250 on a full tank when you hit 1/4 to 1/2 a tank, your truck will be running like 300 degrees plus!!

if you adjust you settings fro half a tank say to 270 then it is fairly lean on the bottom end, but you don't have to worry when you first start out, it will be a little rich, but should still run good... hope this helps

BTW its much easier to tune with the header tank because it solves the 1/2 tank lean issues
