Hi all.

I made a how to called Symptoms and Possible Reasons on the GV site. It will hopfully be used for troubleshooting engine problems. Problems will be categorized and the possible reasons will be listed underneith the correct category.

the HowTo is here
http://howto.globalvicinity.com/gv_w...=193&co=1&vi=1

Please add more categories and possible reasons. ONLY add possible reasons to the symptoms you had personal experience on and add them in the CORRECT category.

I hope this will be a good thing for the rotary community.

So please help out the rotary community by adding more Symptoms and Possible Reasons to the HowTo.

 

cool

 

I am also doing a complete writeup on the Global Vicinity site concerning rough idles, rolling idles, high idles, stalling, etc. Once I have completed editing, I have to submit them for approval.

 

Script 7. I messaged you on GV cause I noticed you had that writeup going. Im thinking we could combine both into one. Either that or make yours more descriptive. Once your done, submit it and either me or steve will look it over.

 

I spoke to Steve about it today via pm on here. I told him I would finish editing my writeups soon....I haven't been to the site in about a week or so, time management issues mostly. I get requests locally to help others with their FCs and FDs which eats up a lot of my extra time.

 

Ya I got FC work scedualed as well. Beginning of next month I will be working on doing an all day project on someones engine. Can't wait to see it done.

 

I updated the read a little more just now.

I hope other members of the community will share some of their time and give a little effort to add more information to that HowTo.

Contributions will be noticed since your user name will be listed in the Contributions list by click on the link at the top of the page.

 

I had originally planned on creating several writeups of my own design on the GV site, including pics and detailed descriptions, but after reading this particular writeup, I think I will decline. I don't care at all for the layout at all. It appears, IMO, to be vague, with word choices that I don't agree with, no step-by-step instructions, no tried-and-true methods or interesting approaches to diagnostics as well as several "gaps" of information, and some of it just plain incorrect.

 

In the future it will have some step by step instructions on how to troubleshoot different problems. I typed this up within a couple hours.

Like what?

Also, this is what a Wiki is for. You can change it to better word something or add more/better information. Also some HowTos already have information on troublehshooting and adjusting and check things so why should I add that information again? They can easily browse the Community Service Manual which I directly linked to in the HowTo.

 

Your writeup would help out the rotary community a lot. It woudl be a good idea to have a descriptive writeup like yours and one that points out possible areas to look in. I was thinking, putting everything one one page would make for a really long and possibly boring page.

All the pages on the GV site work together as a whole. A link to your Howto would be placed on the page im still working on.

So keep up the good work because it your HowTo does look really good and can't wait to see it finished.
