• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Need Help with an alert - what does this mean?

    I am extremely grateful for what you and the other members post on here. Sharing your experiences fills in the blanks. I find it always better to learn from others mistakes, so I don’t have to make them all myself. Pertaining specifically to software instructions. I am a member of a half dozen...

    And just sometimes those shop manuals are grossly inadequate for the task at hand.

    Can anyone identify this? Found on top of Piston #1 on a 2015 RT 1330

    That sounds great. You might just be my new best friend. I’ve always driven or ridden old stuff and have been fortunate to never have had much trouble getting them to run well for decades. I’ve never encountered something like this. I’ll be pulling it out this afternoon and I’ll post the...

    Can anyone identify this? Found on top of Piston #1 on a 2015 RT 1330

    Thank you for your response. Yes, #1 is on the right. I’m going to pull it out carefully, in a clear tube with a de-soldering bulb so I can inspect it. I’ll be pulling the injector/fuel rail to test and inspect the injectors. From there I’ll decide if I’m going to pull the head off. This is my...

    I believe I need to jump on a computer and see how this looks on there. The format on my iPhone appears to be missing some features or just arranged differently. Practice and reading will help. Just like disassembling the RT to get to the spark plugs.

    Can anyone identify this? Found on top of Piston #1 on a 2015 RT 1330

    I found this on top of Piston #1 using a cheap bore scope. I’m going to remove the injector today. The picture on the screen does not show that it looks like a little pile of shredded metal. The engine was running when I started investigating the lack of power and poor fuel consumption at 9,600...

    Need Help with an alert - what does this mean?

    No it was not working from within the Alert Text. Then I happened to scroll down the page and found numerous threads like the piece of one you posted, which opened up like blue text on mine usually does. Thanks though. iPhones can be a pain. Like someone else having difficulty, I’m also using an...

    Need Help with an alert - what does this mean?

    That’s the problem-finding the instructions to review. That is not a functioning link and I cannot locate the instruction. I cannot even inquire from whomever posted that edit. Ahh, there they are at the bottom of this screen!

    Need Help with an alert - what does this mean?

    I received an anonymous post as an Alert concerning my post and that it was edited. I cannot locate the instructions on Thread thumbnail rules. The link does not work. I cannot find the link nor know who to ask where is this rule located? I cannot find it in the menus that pop up on the left...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I removed the coolant reservoir, secondary air box, #1 stick coil, and #1 spark plug. #1 was wet and much browner than #2 & #3. I used a bore camera to look inside the cylinder and I don’t like what I’m seeing. Tomorrow I’ll see if it’s metal. I was hoping not to find anything. -

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I removed more items and cleaned more of the plastic undercarriage pieces. I found a loose factory clamp that goes from the coolant expansion tank to the water pump. I discovered that a different clamp on the larger coolant line from the water pump to the bottom of the expansion bottle had been...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I had to look up ‘Love Bug’ insect on the internet. It appears to be another great reason for living in middle Tennessee, if they are around here they must be few.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I use dryer sheets in multiple places on nearly all my outside and detached garages. Also the rat snakes, cats and terriers we have around here help with mice and other rodents. So far there are no signs of mice damage. It’s nearly to the frame now. I’m inspecting everything.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I do have some fins to straighten out. The radiators aren’t in too bad a shape. The oddest thing I’ve found so far is all the grain in my primary air box.
