• 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.

A couple thoughts Aussie:

- you can try the wide open throttle start ( WOT ) in case it got flooded. Hold throttle wide open first, then hit start button. This action puts a fuel injected engine’s ECU into Flooded Engine Mode. It opens the butterfly valve but shuts off the fuel. IT CANNOT START. It’s done to clear out the cylinders. Crank for about 10 seconds, or it might stop cranking on its own. The 998 engine was more susceptible than the 1330, but does still happen.

- check fuses by testing or replacing, not just by a visual. They can fail due to vibration and not look blown.

- fuel contamination? When was the last time it ran?

- warranty bulletin 2022-4 applies to the 2021 F3. It corrects a starting issue due to carbon buildup in the cylinders that causes low compression. It requires a reflash at your dealer. Has that been performed? You may have that problem.
