do you still have the stock tank with primer? This could be a reason why. Honestly it is best to prime the carb using the rotostart or pull start if you have that. Just cover the exhaust outlet with your finger and then pull/rotostart for a couple pulls/seconds and fuel will rush to the carb better than any primer could ever do.
Taking a break right now from breaking in my savage, first tank through so far and letting it cool for a bit. Can't wait for it to be done so I can drive
Luckily rain has cleared up here for a couple days but supposed to start again saturday. Hopefully you will have good weather there so you can start yours up too.

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXJFE2 This is the tank I use, drops right in, just have to move the rear tank mount back, there are already holes in the chassis for this.
As far as break in, the alternative to following the manual is look on page 121. 46u posted a different way to break in the motor and I am somewhat following this method right now except for the first tank part. For that I am combining hpi's method of letting it idle and varying the throttle (while on a stand, tires off the ground) to keep clearing out the excess fuel. And in case you don't know (when reading 46u's post) to find bdc, rotate the flywheel until it is easy to turn. This is bdc, if it is hard to turn, you are either entering or leaving tdc.
Also, if you use this tank, you may want to add an extra o-ring under it on each screw where the screws go through to bring the height up a little so it doesn't rub the chassis. Although with the stock tank on mine, it also rubbed a little, but this tank seems to be a little deeper.

So choked been working on my new Mt2 SS kit and I go to mount the exhaust manifold and one of the screws that came with the kit has no head on it so darn close yet so darn far[>:] Anyone notice that when droping in the engine there is no mention as to the meshing of the gears?

Do you mean the zip tye on the front bumper? They are there because the screws broke inside the bottom part so that was the only way I found to hold those two parts together, it’s a quick fix but its good enough for me.

I have long fuel line for went the truck flip over I have more time to get to the truck to put it back on its wheels, and like Grantothismo said it help keep a decent pressure in the system.

By the way, do both lines must be around the same length?

For the gear mesh I use a piece of letter paper put it between the cluch bell and spur gear push the motor against the spur making sure its at the right angle. After that remove motor screws one at the time to put a bit threadlock. I've been doing this for a long time now and never had a problem, still ruining original spur on both of my trucks.
