NEEWB help with TORS

[vtekthis]

Hello, all, i wanna say im new here! my name is darren, and i just picked up a non running 2000 banshee for 550 bucks (thought it was a good deal.

 

here is my issue, apparently the guys i bought it from crashed it, needs a left side upper control arm, rear axle, and they said it didnt run.

 

i am familiar with elec systems, as i build honda race cars. These guys took apart the carbs (i am missing pieces) because they though thats why it dint run.

 

i have been reading about this tors system and would like to get a new set of carbs without this sys operating.

 

i currently have the carbs off and the tors units disconnected, and have noticed it does not have spark in either cyl! i gapped the flywheel, took the ohm readings from the stator, all checks well, then for shits i deisconnected a little black box (right next to the coil) AND BOOM spark in both Cyl!!! what is this box? is leaving it disconnected gonna affect if down the road?

 

is there a reason these go bad? i am guessing this was the previous owners problem al along...

 

thanks for the help

Darren

Thats the tors control box, get rid of it. Also disconnect the wires coming off the throttle and the parking brake. It should have still started if the tors was sensing that the parking brake was on but if it was damaged there is a possibility that a wire may be shorted? I dont know. Its just best to get rid of all that crap because it just causes problems. Even if everything was ok it seems that they act up when they get wet anyway.

Welcome!!

 

That box is for the tors, just leave it unhooked.
