savages are nice for bashing, i wanted a XL savage but got into racing. the best thing to do is ASK questions no matter how dumb they are they will make you smarter

well heres a question. can i get some info on use of after run oil? i see it mentioned all over, but never an explanation of how/where to use it.
I'm more mechanically inclined towards full sized cars...

take the glow plug out and spray 1 second burst of wd-40



then put 5 drops down the glow plug hole, then turn over the engine with a towel over the top of the head. replace glowplug, take air filter off and fill the body up with oil then pull the throttle so the carb opens and the oil will go into the engine. this will prevent it from rusting and adds anywhere from
1+ gallons onto the life of the engine.

and i do all that with WD-40? no need for the special oils they sell?

If you run good fuel and you run it around alot you don't need AFO, Butif your going to put it away for more than a week, use it.

Also make sure there's no fuel left in it. Dump it, or run it out, blow out the tubes, est.
