My spyder had 750 miles and fouled out the rear spark plug, (gas) I put a new plug in, took it to dealer. They found no fault. Bad plug we thought, run good about 150 miles and started running poor again. strong gas smell when sitting still and lots and lots of fuel vapor fumes coming from exhaust when shut down. (like when fueling care in high heat/sun) the rear throttle body and cover of air box is nasty with a gassy wet residue and even has back fired flames from rear throttle body. Dealer is young, any insight?:dontknow::banghead:

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.

I would have them do a compression and leakdown tests. It's possible that you have a cam timing issue.

My first thought would be to a bad plug wire or connection. The most common cause of single cylinder fouling is a weak plug wire, especially with resistor wires. Test the resistance of the plug wires, and connections, or just have the dealer start by replacing the offending spark plug wire and insulating sleeve. If that doesn't work, one side of the coil could be weak, and they can try replacing it.
