this is a good tip to keep your engine lasting long, after your done running a tank of fuel put the piston at bottom dead center by turning the flywheel. when the engine is hot everything expands and when you leave the piston alone its usually at top dead center or close to it and when it cools down the cylinder wall contracts around the piston. ive been doing this for my k4.6 for years and it still has the same compression since the day i bought the engine.

Hey sweet video man. I actually dropped my savage xl at the shop (hobby shop around here) to try getting it to stay on and run nice. I didn't run it for like a year and a half so maybe that's the prob. But I will be getting it back next regardless if its fixed or not. I'll just hit you up if anything lol. Keep on truckin'

So far i know i need an un body plate and i somehow need to figure out how to get the motor roll cage on. All i can say with that is THANKS hpi for not telling anyone and shipping the same one for the x

when taking temp always take it at the glow plug never on the heat sink sides you were probably at 250 + maybe you would have to lean it 1/8th of a turn to make sure you have correct lubrication after that you should of continued the video with the high speed needle , and shifting screws because you shifting is too rapid on the 2 & 3 but besides that good video! appreciate people doing that to help others!!

Quick question if anyone can help. On the high speed needle there is the black sleeve making it adjustable by hand. You can move it up and down a bit or make it flush with the flat head portion of the needle. What is thr propor position of this sleeve, slightly pulled up over the needle, flush or slightly pulled down. Thanks

there is a line on the brass sleeve that you will see if you unscrew the black plastic knob. base setting is the bottom of the black plastic knob lined up with the line on the brass.

For some reason my drill does NOT work with my savage... It seems to just spin but not grab...i do have it spinning in the same direction as the roto start yet it seems to just not crank the motor over. ive tried it with both my 1st and 2nd speed on my drill and it just doesnt seem to crank... then i put the rod on the roto start and then suddenly its working... ohh well.... good tutorial
