where in the software are the interlocks located? I checked the sidestand, and pulling the clutch in. i got spark by firing manually in the software, so i must have power to the coils and they must be good. thanks again!
-
yes it worked great, i havent checked the tach. ran great when i parked it for the winter, i just hard wired the TCI connectors and added the chevy vac sensor.
-
anyone have an idea? thanks!

i have an ignitech TCI, Im sure someone can answer this, i have no spark when cranking, i can fire the ignition manually using the ignitech software and get spark at the plugs. is there anywhere i can see the pick up coil signal? I see it displays polarity, and it does go from red to green when i crank it, so i assume it is seeing something correct? if that is correct, is there anything that would stop it from sending the fire signal to the plugs? safety switch? or something? Im at the end of my rope trying to figure this out.
alittle background of when this started was, my connector from the TCI to wiring harness was loose, so i hard wired it, i did one wire at a time, so im sure i didnt miss wire, but...Thanks in advance for your help!!
-
thanks guys for all your help!
-
I noticed the rubber plugs were loose. ( i could turn them around with a screw driver) not dry rotted or anything, but was wondering if that is the way they are supposed to be? if not, any idea of where to purchase those? Thanks guys!!

if your looking for diaphrams for cheep http://jbmindustries.com/index.html only 25$ and they work great! You just check the diameter of the carbs and send it to him.
-
no, its a pressurized system, it will only activate when there needs to be fuel pumped to the carbs.
-
anyone think the pick up coils are bad with the readings i got? I dont want to replace them if thats not the issue. thanks!
-
if you have a timing light that works great to see if spark is present, ive used it many times. beets taking things apart to check
-
OK here are my results, I got 69-71.3 ohms on all the test points, the manual says 93-126 at 68 degrees, its about 90 today. you would think if they were bad i would get a really low or really high number? what do you think?
-
no i thought the RW had 12v only when the run switch was on, when i have the key off its at 0v. thanks for the help so far, i will test the coils thanks!
-
is there any way to test the pick up coil?
-
ok, here is the issue, I get spark once in a while (using plug grounded to engine) then there is nothing. I dont touch anything, just the start button, maybe 1 time in 5 i get spark.(doesnt matter what cylinder i try)
I have checked the side stand wire
12v on RW wire to all coils (all though it stays on even when run switch is to off position, I thought it wasnt supposed to?)
I have a ingntech TCI so i assume thats not the issue
hard wired the pick up coil connector by left knee, no change
the fuse holder has been changed a few years ago so thats not original
Anything else I could be missing?? or could check? Im at the end of my rope, The bike always runs perfect, the only thing i did was before the riding season started i hooked up the GM air sensor and changed the map accordingly. I disconnected the sensor and put the original map back in, and still no change. thanks in advance guys, you always have great ideas!
-
thanks gary! you guys come through as usual.. tried the one you sent,must not be the program, on to the next thing. Thanks again!
-
I loaded a new map and forgot to save the original. Im having issues with starting now and i want to rule out the map before i go any further.. THANKS!!
-
PMed you THANKS!!!!!
-
I am adding the MAP sensor to the TCI but there is no wire on pin17 in the unit i have, even some of the colors are not the same as in the instruction post picture... anyway, does anyone have any ideas? Ive emailed ingntech but no response. Thanks!!
-
every post ive seen so far doesnt have a clear answer, is there a way to heighten the needle since there is only one clip position? Ive completely opened the exhaust and have a k&n so its been a little lean. Any help would be great.
-
loaded the map from dingy ...wow!! what a change!! all the issues i thought were carb problems are gone.. if i had to pull those carbs off one more time I was sending the bike to the smasher! you guys are the best on here and cant thank you enough!
-
Pm sent...thanks man!
-
I bought my ignition awhile back, programed it once and lost the cd that came with it. anyway, i downloaded the v80 software from ignitech and tried to load a new map and it says the v80 software is not compatible with the ingnition i have (v88) so the program button is greyed out. any body have the v88 version? or know whats going on? Thanks guys!!
-
fired right up! thanks again, does anyone have a tweekt program file that works great on the ignitech CDI that uses the stock boost sensor the "new version" that i just hooked up? All the ones I have seen are for the No boost sensor or the one with the GM sensor.
BTW I have an 86 venture. thanks for the info on changing that.
