I wouldn't worry about the spark every 10th kick, unless the key doesn't shut it down when it's running, more often the problem is NO spark.

 

If you've removed the TORS carb tops all that's left is the control box on the frame rail above the left cylinder, unplug it and remove, and the switch on the clutch perch and throttle housing. Then you can either just tape off the connectors or cut the wires and tape them off. The only wire there that matters is black/white, that's the circuit the handlebar kill switch uses, when that wire grounds to black or the frame it will tell the CDI to shut down. If your handlebar kill switch stopped working after you removed the TORS, that black/white wire is cut somewhere between the CDI and the switch itself, to make it work right you'll have to trace it. Good luck.
