I never owned a brand new motor before, so i dont know what to expect. Either way i own a Savage 25 I bought off ebay. It was all stock when i got it, at least the engine and suspension where. It was pretty dirty/dryed mud all over. I didnt really know what to expect but either way the way it sits now is it has a tune pipe.
I had a decent tune on it the other day and it was running the best i ever got it to. Now my buddy did the samething i did and bought his T-Maxx off ebay, he has the 2.5R motor, and his truck has stripped screws all over it, you would think the motor would be in worse shape then mine...... my buddy since he bought it never touched the Needles to tune it at all and his is WAY FASTER then mine even when i had the best tune i ever seen the truck have!
Now it was 19 degrees out today but i had it running good in colder conditions before. I wrapped the head and everything, i have a temp gun i try to get it around 220-270 degrees, i would figure it would run and not bog or just not be slow in that range but i wouldnt really know....other then not to be too lean because i know thats bad.
So today it kicked my ass the needles are so touchy, i couldnt get it to run like i had the other day.... i should of never touched them from the previous tune, but since my buddys was so fast i wanted to try to be faster.......
So what are signs of a shot motor? Or are all Savage 25's a pain in the ass to tune? I never really ran it in warmer weather i tend to get bored in the winter, so i use it then, and its a blast in the snow.
PLEASE HELP!!!! ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!
