Anyone know of a test the normal person can run on the TCI?

You may well be right about the TCI, but it might be worth running a

small amount of Seafoam or MMO through a couple tanks of fuel just be

sure that a small bot of gew isn't messing with carbuation.

FWIW.

I am having a problem with the bike not having much power, until it

certain point, and then its like switching on a switch, and it takes

off

like a bat out of Hades.  As the bike heats up, the point where it

gets

power drops, until the point where its more like a hesitation when

you open

the throttle.

 

I have grounded the Voltage regulator, and made sure the carb vent

tubes are

Clear.  Any other ideas on what to try?  I have a bad feeling its the

TCI,

And that's pricey.
