Nigel,

I can fix them, but before you ship it 'across the pond', tell us why you think your problem is in the box?

Hi ya Randy,Swapped carbs,checked advance retard,swapped coils,and still will not run on 1-4 running fine on 2-3 but a bit down on power with just these two running if you could come up with some way of multi tester check on black box would be handy.what sort of price are we talking and time if you dont want to put on site send to nigelsredmax@blueyonder.co.uk thanks bud

Nigel,

If you're handy with electrons, give my trouleshooting guide a try. It's on my website under the heading "TCI Repairs"

Randy's XS page

After that, if you're still stuck, you can ship it to me and i'll fix it for $50 U.S. return shipping included. I'll e-mail you my address once you decide.

there is a chap in southport who can repair them north west motorcycles or somethink like that he is in the mcn but i will forward you his number,,,,,,,,

[black1.1s]

That would be great if you could find number for me,will do randys test on it tommorrow and see what that reveals.

Your problem sounds more like the pick-up coils. Later 'Dog

[black1.1s]

Hi Dog,Dont think it is the pick up coils. If you swop the wires going to coils and run screw driver over the pick up it swops to the other set of plugs In other words swops from 1-4 not working to 2-3 not working

[scalded dog]

I think it would also do that if the pick up coils weren't working, but not real sure. My 79 standard gave me fits, until I repaired the wires going to the pick-ups. I replaced ignition coils, black boxes everything I could think of, ballast, reserve lighting. LOL. Later 'Dog

[LoserShoes]

If your saying you swapped the wires on the ignition coils, that only confirms that the coils/wires/plugs are ok. Doesn't eliminate the box/pickup coils.

[randy]

You're welcome.

Did you do the test I showed you? And what was the result?

[black1.1s]

Got reading from orange wire nothing from light blue

[randy]

What light blue? there is no light blue. Do you mean Gray? And what do you mean by the term 'reading' , did you get the voltage swing as you cranked or not?
