hey guys, had my savage out today and noticed it sounded really weird, i checked the engine temp and it was up to 370 F, would this have caused engine damage??

Very Good Possibility.

Sounds like it's on the lean side....

That's definitely the lean/overheated idle sound. I've seen it go both ways at that temp. You'll know after you try to run again but do try to richen it up to get the temps down.

It's hard to see the smoke in the lighting. But as everyone else has suggested, I'd richen it up a bit to be on the safe side, or try to reset to factory then tune from there.

Richen the low speed about 1/4-1/2 turn and richen the hsn at least 1 full turn. It's cold out and if you're hitting 370 that means your engine is way too lean.

That poor engine.

Alright I'll try that, it's in the same tuning setup I was using in the summer so that could be the problem, I'll let you know what happens! Thanks!
