Have you figured out your spark problem yet?
No. Haven't bothered.  Jon said the  shop had told him that they traced it  down to the black box. Jon had already bought one and tried it. And the shop bought another one and tried it. They  put  different harness on it and still no spark.

I have 2 projects ahead of the 1100. Turbo 1200. And sled motor smart car. Just have little stuff to finish up on the house.

       I posted a method to make the TCI produce a spark. In doing so it will prove your ignition switch , kill switch , coils and TCI (black box) are  working.. The post was "how to test the TCI on 84-85 FJ1100's ". It only requires an automotive test light , a spark plug and the removal of the seat and left side over. It takes less than ten minutes. On Applejack's post " have to give up " I posted a step by step procedure to check the starter and ignition circuit. When your ready to work on it you should check it out. The manuals don't show a positive method for testing the TCI other than the process of elimination.

Hey Trav, yes, that was an excellent post you made on troubleshooting the TCI.

FYI, I saved it over in the Electrical Files: http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=19679.0

Well I won some of the unobtainium nos right side fairing protectors. Got up at 4:26 am. To bid on them. Right before the end of the auction in GB. $57+shipping for 2 of them. The 1100 was missing one.  And the other one isn't the greatest.

Price seems fair, congratulations!
