What am I Missing just replaced TCI box

[snyper316]

I dont know why that posted where it did still trying to figure out Tapatalk anyways Got the box put it on and wouldnt start so I have it on charger beeing it was around 11 volts dont know if that has anything to do with it or not will retry to start it later...The black and white wire is cut to the TCI box was like that when i got to TCI box question i have is there any switches that will allow the bike to turn over but not start i had stated a test i did wrong think it was along the lines of grounding the test light which the light i have is 6volt/12volt light with spark tester my other box when i was testing the spark i would get like 2 dancing lights on two plugs and one flashing on the other 2 as i cranked it over.. now this box has all wires dancing... I am gonna pull plugs and clean them up because im pretty sure they are probably fouled out due to bad spark on previous box.. but then again it is a used TCI box but the bike was running just no second gear... I popped the box open just to see if the inside and it looks good in there in fact better then my box the plugs however did need a good cleaning... and i know someone told me that it may not be sending the spark at the right time... i guess pull the wiring harness and check for a short is all i cant think of at the moment. :think:

If plugs are fouled it will be very hard to start.

WOOHOO SHE IS ALIVE soon as i hooked the spark plugs up hit the button She Said VROOOM VROOom ok so i did spot something after i got bit i left one wire unplugged shut her down put it on the number 2 and just barely bumped the button and she said VROOM VROOM AM AS HAPPY AS A LARP RIGHT NOW!!!!!! and she sounds awsome holy cow.... SO guess when i get back tomorrow cut the tabs velcro it down and button her back up granted the neighbor kids didnt break too many pieces off my plastic they seem to think they can go in the garage and mess with my stuff and i have told them time and time again there is no need to be in my garage if they want to mess with stuff go in there parents garage....but anyways thank you everyone with the assistance now to get that darned oil leak fixed would be so bad if it didnt drip on the exaust collector...

Hey Greg,

One thing I want to mention here, The TCI for the 83'VR will only work on an 83'VR! All of the other TCI's are different. If you have replaced your 83 TCI with a TCI from any other year bike, the bike will run, but will overheat on the road due to the Ignition Curve being off for the 83'VR. If this TCI is from an 84 up, don't stray to far from home, you will be pushing that bike back to your garage. Just an FYI.

It was off of 83 the bike is running almost perfect the carbs need tweaked but I tryed to get the butterfly s moving at the same time after I put the carbs back together
