i bought a used savage and it has a xtm 24/7 in it and it has no low end power but it runs fine temps are about 245 to 265 right around there and i need the factory needle setting to check and see what i am deeling with i did the pinch test and the first time you do it its perfect then you do it again and it off so i need to set it at the factory settings and go from there on my own links and tips will help much
 
Here's a link to the manual: http://media.hobbypeople.net/manual/146027.pdf

From the manual:
Low Speed Needle Valve
The low speed needle valve meters the air/fuel mixture at idle and
during transition from idle to full throttle. Turn the low speed needle
clockwise to lean the mixture. Turn it counter-clockwise to richen
the mixture. The low speed needle valve is preset from the factory,
but minor adjustments may need to be made to suit your application:
fuel used, glow plug and environment all contribute to the setting.
To reset the low speed needle valve to the factory setting, follow
these simple steps:
q 1) Open the carburetor barrel completely.
q 2) While holding the barrel open with your finger, use a flat blade
screwdriver to turn the idle mixture needle clockwise until it stops.
From this point, turn the needle counter-clockwise 8 turns. This is
the factory setting.

High Speed Needle Valve
The high speed needle valve is used to meter the air/fuel mixture at
full throttle. Using a flat blade screwdriver, turn the needle clockwise
to lean the mixture or turn the needle counter-clockwise to richen
the mixture. When you start the engine for the very first time, the
needle valve should be turned in completely, then backed out 3 turns.
When you start the engine after that, leave the needle valve in the
same position it was in when you shut down the engine.
 
thank you very much it helps me out alot i printed the link you gave me so that i have it for future refrense i didnt know much about this motor untill you gave me the link now i can tune it the way it was supposed to be once again thank you
 
well i just checked the settings and wow the lsn was set at 5 3/4 out from closed and the hsn was set at 5 turns out i know that the settings that you gave me are for break in but these are way off from normal and this will explain why it didnt have no low end it was too lean and the hsn was set way to fat and thats why the temps were 250 and up i hope the next time its warmer out i will let you know thanx again for the help
