noel cassidy Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share #26 Posted May 9, 2013 Another update, put fuel pump back in and the bike started up and ran fine for about 10 minutes. Idling smooth and then it quit. Wouldn't start after that. Pulled a plug wire and hooked a spark plug to it to test for spark. No spark. So it is something electrical. Any help appreciated.

bongobobny Posted May 9, 2013 Share #27 Posted May 9, 2013 OK the only stock TCI available would be a used one, and unfortunately only the '83 box works on an '83. Other years are interchangeable. I would recommend one of the aftermarket setups such as member Dingy has available if you are sure it is the TCI box bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdserlin Posted May 10, 2013 Share #28 Posted May 10, 2013 The TCi is a bit difficult to get to- if it's in the stock location. Read all the posts on removal and relocation to the top of the air box. In my humble opinion if it's the TCI, is either vibration or heat driven intermittent problem. Once you get the TCI relocated to the top of the air cleaner. Start the bike cold and then hit the TCI with a hair dryer or heat gun, and see if heating it up causes a stall "sooner" than you have normally experienced.
