Battery issue, too low rpm? There are many possibilities. First I'd look at the cleanliness and tightness of the battery terminals (at the battery itself, not the jump start terminals under the seat), and put a good charge on the Spyder with a battery tender. Beyond that I'd add some Seafoam or Marine Stabil to the fuel, and freshen the fuel at first chance. Other than that we need more info.

The engine check light was also on during this time . Installed pigtail , everything tight , battery charged before running . Gasoline , running with 92 high test .
