I'd have to looked back through the part numbers - But i think it's that #5 that is different through the years -

anyway - It may not be these dealers fault - I just do not think they work on savages very much and maybe experts on complex machines they work on all the time - but just do seem to know jack about these.

The microfiche on RonAyers.com and BikeBandit.com are great for looking up model-specific stuff.

So far as the dealers go, I think they simply don't care about Savages. But I still say that if a dealer looked at the fiche and stated there are no gaskets, he's an idiot.

Try running it with the choke on and see if that keeps it leaner. Just to see where u are at with the needle.

Not to be a jerk, just trying to help...

The choke is not actually a choke in the conventional sense in that it does not "choke" the engine by restricting airflow. Opening the choke, i.e. pulling the knob out to the left of the bike, actually adds more fuel. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

Realistically it is acceptable to still refer to it as a choke.
