Buckndoe91, A loud ticking noise in the upper end of the engine is probably a bad piston. If you are mechanically inclined you will be able to loosen the head bolts and take a peak at the top of the pistons. If you do take off the head be prepared to replace the gaskets even if the piston(s) is/are not bad. Also, make sure you are running the right spark plug. I have seen cases where people put to deep of a plug and it hits the top of the piston.
In any of these situations you should see a loss of power.
The first thing to check is the battery, read the voltage with a multimeter, a battery in good condition and fully charged should read as 12.6 volts + anything less than 12 volts and the battery is u/s

Best money you'll ever spend is to get a service manual from say amazon for example. Tons of data usually 20=30 bucks. I recommend everbody gets one right away.
its the CV carby it will need some specialised tuning
but you can check the diphrame & spring for wear
this will only make sence if your modle has a CV carby
Check the bulb to determine if it is truly blown. If so, replace it. Before testing the new bulb, check the fuse to see if it is burnt. If it is CAREFULLY check the wires for damage or shorts. Repair any problems. Check all of the fuses, including the main fuse located near the positive terminal of the battery.
Sounds like the carb float is either set too high, or some crud is stuck between the float needle and it's seat allowing fuel to flow through carb and into engine.
Also, be sure you turn off the fuel flow at the petcock when not running.
Check your oil level, if its overfull then you will get oil from there.
Its probably over full due to the float sticking in your carburetor and the fuel didn't go out the drain tube to the ground, instead the fuel went right down your intake, into combustion chamber, washed passed your rings and down inton the bottom end.
i've saw this happen several time to bikes that have been sitting or dirty carbs.
thats why your oil apperas thin because it has been diluted with fuel.
Smell it, it probaly has the scent of gas.
Make sure your carbs are clean, floats are working,
drain tubes are clean.
Change your oil and filter.
Turn the motor over a few time with the sparkplugs out in case there is any gas still in the chambers.
Clean or replace your sparkplugs and put them back in, and your good to go.
if you can't afford to fix it right now, then change your oil and filter, and just remember to shut you petcock off after each time you ride.
Note: A motor that has too much oil in it or the combustion chanber full of raw gas, it will be hard to turn over.
You'll be riding by noon tomorrow.
have a good one.

Is difficult to diagnose these problems as it could be any of these;
Electrical; 90% of problems are electrical, in this case the spark could be breaking down under load and especially if the spark plug is old it may pay to try this first, Don't think there are any computers onboard the Savage but there may be an ignition system fault but this will be your last resort.
Fuel supply; cleaner additives are rarely effective and if there is contamination it will require the tank and fuel system cleaned, removing the carby fuel bowl for inspection for contaminants is the first step here.
Air Supply; Before doing anything else check for obstructions in the air intake, usually under the seat, this is especially important if you have fitted any seat cover, the webbing holding these on can be sucked into the air intake when applying throttle
