one it will make it alot easier to work on carbs cus it get rid of a bunch of crap that is on the carb tops... as for what it does.. it basically is to keep the throttle from sticking or if it stick it will cut the spark down... its a plus to get rid of it.. its all lawyer crap...for safety..

With the TORS removed, the throttle is a bit easier to move. It's a common complaint that the Banshee throttle is a bit on the stiff side. They make extended levers for that, too.

 

With the TORS removed, you won't be adjusting slide heighth (sync of the carbs) using the TORS anymore, but with a couple threaded adjusters on the new carb caps.

 

Idle will be adjusted with added screws. You drill and tap the carb body to do that as part of the TORS removal.

 

Actually, that's something to look for..those screws. They will be brass screws with locknuts on them. The only such looking thing on the carb. Both of them are on the outside, unlike the air screws (both carb air screws are on the LH side..so you can't see the one on the RH carb from the outside).

 

Can't imagine anyone doing it, but you COULD take the TORS off and NOT drill/tap the carbs for 'new' idle screws. THAT would be bogus.
