    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil light staying on fix.

Thought I'd share, a good heads up for those of us who are not so familiar as we could be (but will be one day!) with GS.

After I'd eliminated the switch as the culprit in the 'oil light staying on' saga, a friend helped track it down and it turned out to be a pinched wire. I replaced the chain and sprockets recently, and moved the wires running to the switch just enough for them to be troublesome. I checked them and sure enough there was a bared wire (green and yellow). It was an old injury and easily fixed with a clean up and insulation tape.

The wires to the switch are VERY SNUG FITTING behind the countershaft sprocket cover and have a little bit of play in them, so be aware. I'll probably forget next chain and sprockets change...
