Bad news on the electrical shutdown problem while cruising. I installed a
new TCI unit tonight and I still have the same problem. The bike will run
fine for a while and then starts missing and dies, usually when I slow down
to stop. I have figured out that when this happens only the number three
cylinder is firing. When I let the bike sit for a while it cranks back up
and I can ride it back home. Every electrical connection on my bike has been
cleaned and has dielectric grease in it. The vent on the gas tank is also
fine. The ignition coils check out good as do the pick-up coils. I do have
a Dale Walker electric shifter, rev limiter and MSD shift light on the bike,
they are coming off in that order. The power to the shifter and rev limiter
has been disconnected and the problem is still occurring. I can only think
to take them completely off the bike. One good note, while the bike was down
I put in solid motor mounts, took the tin cup out of the oil pan, rejetted
the carburetor and put on a new bigger back tire, all of which worked great
up until the Bike died. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Paul
