Toy, first, thank you for your
service. Next, though you are posting in the 500 forum, and though
your sig seems to indicate your bike, it is forum courtesy as well as a
rule that sigs be included. You have your sig set up, so just check the
box to include on all posts. Regarding your problem, the TCI is split
between spark control up to 3500 rpm and above 3500. If the problem is not
right at 3500, the issue is most likely elsewhere. Even if it is right at
3500, it may be a false positive. Have you checked the float level for the
offending cylinder? I know that fuel starvation shouldn't cause the tach
to punk out, but again, not every indicator points to the root cause of a
problem. Does the cylinder drop in every gear at the same point, and does
it happen under both hard and gradual acceleration? Finally, and I
would say the most important thing; it seems that even with your
qualifications this problem has you stumped, and there's nothing wrong or
even unusual about such things. So since you're asking the board for
assistance which is willingly provided, hence our existence, it is
inappropriate to get in a pissing match with the guys who are trying to
help you. There are millions of miles and hours of experience here,
offered for free. With your background you ought to understand the
propriety of demonstrating proper respect. |
