• 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.

    Whole house propane generator ?

    :opps: Sorry,but being an electrician and also having some personal experience with shocks and arc flash scars couldn't let it go without commenting. Didn't mean any harm, just want folks to do it right. Now I'll go back to being the quiet member I usually am.

    Whole house propane generator ?

    your plan is probably 100 percent right in your case, not everybody has the same set of requirements for sure. 99 percent of the time I would be ok with just the set up you describe, but, having gone through the situation and seen what could happen I had to try to eliminate the chance that it...

    Whole house propane generator ?

    What most don't realize is that when you backfeed into the utility with 120/230 volts is that transformers work backwards also. Although the inrush current would most likely trip your generators breaker its possible if it didn't you could energize the primary with what is in the area here 13000...

    Whole house propane generator ?

    The transfer switch eliminates the possibility that the breakers are switched in the wrong sequence feeding back to the utility power and energizing a line someone may be working on . Code requires that there is a way to keep this very thing from happening, it could kill someone if it does.

    Whole house propane generator ?

    You are very right Scotty, if you don't know how to do this correctly it can be very dangerous. I observed a neighbor wiring up an outlet once that he was going to use for a quick way to plug in his portable unit. Knowing his electrical expertise was limited went over to see what he was doing...

    Whole house propane generator ?

    I totally agree with Bruiser about the transfer switch, it's a must . You can get either a manual or automatic version depending on your situation. If you can deal with a period of time after a power interruption a manual will suffice. Our problem was basement water. We live in an older home...

    Whole house propane generator ?

    Just did this same thing We just installed a 14 kw propane generator after several extended power outages last year. This has worked perfectly, the power didn't go off for more than a minute since installing it in March. As to fuel usage the unit we installed uses 1.4 gal. per hour at full...

    Spyder Sightings

    Red RT Friday, Nov. 25th, followed a red :ani29: RT east on Old Jonestown Road. I was in my truck and my wife was outside as it went by the house. My wife said it was a woman pilot, she waved and the driver waved back. Don't know who it was but it was a great day for a ride! :D

    One more tyme......back to the shop (black hole) she goes.

    Rear suspension pressure Ours is an AC version so you set the pressure manually through the schraeder valve under the seat on the right side near the brake resivoir. I use a little mini pump with guage attached that is from my HD Ultra just for suspension adjustment. you can also use a...

    One more tyme......back to the shop (black hole) she goes.

    Our RT also "wobbled" When we got ours I also noted the feeling you describe as a wobble. My wife on the other hand was much less affected by this and thought I was in her words, "obsessed" in an effort to correct a problem that didn't bother her in the least. What I found to help the...

    SM5 2010 RT Won't shift

    same problem, found easy fix I had a similar problem, sometimes the first to second shift would "miss". found the shift lever would touch the casting that the foot pegs mount to when you would upshift (only first to second though). Took a dremel to the casting and made a little relief for the...

    Another new Spyder Ryder; a scared one.

    :congrats: :welcome: I know what you mean about the "squiggly's" but I'll bet that goes away with some seat time and a lighter grip on the bar. At first I never thought I would be relaxed like on two wheels, but now it is very enjoyable and just different not scary. As far as reliability we...
