Gordon,
My only bad experiences with the TIM 6 ignitions is that if the coil doesn't have enough resistance it will overheat the diode. Other than that they have been bullet-proof. I don't see any reason why it would fire at low rpm's but not higher. To me it sounds like there isn't enough dwell or saturation time at the higher speed and the coil can't charge.
