    Just thought I would let you know that I have resolved my problem. After going through every connection and testing everything, I determined that I had two bad, used TCI units. I bought a new one from http://www.cheapcyclepartsonline.com/ (at an excellent price I might add), plugged it in and my '84 Venture is running beautifully. Another good thing about this problem is the other minor problems I discovered and repaired, thanks to the posts I found on VentureRider.com. Thanks to all. This is a great group! Riding again, Scott

    Well, I've done everything I've read in your posts...and more, except for the TCI. Still can't find my problem. I will be sending my original TCI out for inspection and repairs if needed. That way I will be able to eliminate that from the equation. Thanks for your support. Scott

    It is a used TCI and yes I have considered that it is faulty. I will be taking a look at the one I replaced. Again, thanks for your help. I'll check out these other areas too. Scott

    Well, I went through everything one more time. Checking, cleaning, testing. The main fuse (40 A next to the battery) was badly corroded and about half "eaten" through. I cleaned it up and replaced the filament. Thought I had found the problem. However, when I started it up the "dash" High beam indicator light was dim and it acted like their wasn't enough power (electricity) to keep it running. Then suddenly it jumped to idle at about 800 to 900 rpm and the lights were brighter. It ran like that for 20 seconds and dropped to a very low rpm and the lights went dim again. This happened several times. Then I shut it off. Obviously I haven't found the problem. It does still act electrical to me but I'm most definately not an expert. Could it be the voltage regulator? This "project" is getting pretty disgusting! Scott

    Thanks for the great responses. I will give you a brief history to bring you up to date. I’ve been trying to figure out a problem with my ‘84 XVZ12DL. Two weeks ago I replaced the ffice:smarttags" />TCI after having a local shop trouble shoot the carbs, generation, spark plugs and tune up before testing it with a different TCI, which we determined to be the problem. The bike ran great for a week then while on a 200 mile ride it started acting up. It would choke off when trying to take off at a low RPM. (under 1200) It is better in the morning when it is cool and gets worse as it warms up. Today I checked and cleaned fuses and contacts, cleaned all ignition and charging plug connectors, tested stator coil leads – 0.9 tested stator coil leads – 0.9

    Can anyone tell me where the signal pick up for the tachometer is on an 84 Venture Royale? I'm having "issues" with the engine missing and choking off when operating at low RPMs. It misses at higher speeds as well when I try to "jump on the throttle". The problem seems to coincide with an erratic tach indication at low RPMs. Thanks, Scott P.S. I replaced my Igniter Unit Assembly two weeks ago and everything was working great. Last weekend, while on a 200 mile ride it started acting up.

    I'm doin' the best I can on part descriptions. On another note, thanks to the input I received as well as searching older posts, I solved my flasher problem. The wires were unplugged. DUH! Scott

    Hi All, I just finished replacing my TID Unit, which went better than I expected. Anyway, now the emergency flashers and turn signals don't work. The front signal lights are on but don't "blink". The fuses all look ok. I did accidentally arc across the device that is hanging off the left side of the battery box. (I don't know what it is called) Everything else seems to be working fine. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Scott
