Banshee_Fever Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 I am new to Banshee's and on here I have been hearing about these TORS things. I think they are like throttle override sumthin but what do they do and why doesnt anybody like them???? Quote
Banshee33 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 It limits the engine RPM if the throttle gets stuck. The problem with this deal is they almost always fail. Jet changes are also a pain the butt. Trust me get rid of it. It is real simple to do. Just make sure you get a Idle kit for it. Hope this helps.... Quote
mybadbanshee Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 banshee33 is right its like a govener in car if you will.take em off.you can get a kit from vitos.its like 55 bucks.takes about an hour or 2 to do. Quote
nate1999mxz600 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 i disconnected the whole tors system and modded the rest of my wiring harness. wouldnt that be the same as getting that idle thing? because the tors are no longer hooked up to the harness Quote
DIRTBIKEZ Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 From my understanding, you can either disconnect the TORS system (electrically) or eliminate it with a kit. The kit allows you to remove the massive carb tops and replace them with a low profile cap. Problem is that w/o these tops you cannot control the idle, so then you need to instal an idle kit. Quote
efward Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 Doesn't the TORS elimator kit include the new idle stuff? Quote
DIRTBIKEZ Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 Doesn't the TORS elimator kit include the new idle stuff? Yes Quote
Banshee_Fever Posted March 20, 2004 Author Report Posted March 20, 2004 ok guys thanks for the repies Quote
EmpirE231 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 dumb question, but does the kit come with all the instructions and does it come with the new carb tops? Quote
DIRTBIKEZ Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 does the kit come with all the instructions and does it come with the new carb tops? Any decent kit should... I'll let you know about the Vitos when it arrives this week. Quote
Banshee33 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 It comes with instructions for the Idle kit. The TORS removal is self explaintory. Quote
909 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 The kits come with: New throttle cable, carb tops with adjusters, and an idle kit. On the factory TORS carb tops, the idle and synch is adjusted with the screws on the top of the TORS units. The kit replaces those huge boxed with a straight standard carb top. The stock cable is now too long and needs to be replaced. The adjusters are slack adjusters/carb synch tools and not meant to adjust the idle. The idle screws will require you to drill out the locations in the carbs where they were supposed to go from the factory, and tap this hole for the threaded screws. The screws are where you set your idle from, not the carb tops. After you drill the holes, be sure to deburr the inside of the carbs so you don't get any metal in the motor. This requires you to remove the carbs for the procedure too. Its also a good time to make sure your jets are clean and there is no dirt in the float bowls. Also a great time to add an inline filter to the fuel line if you haven't done so yet. Quote
Banshee33 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 Check your Float height to. Mine was off and it was brand new. 21mm from carb base (no gasket) to top of float. Easy to adust just bend it slightly if you have to. Quote
