bball23 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hey all, I want to remove the tors on my banshee because I cant have the boost bottle in without taking them off the carbs. I saw the elimator kit on ebay for $40.. But there is also an idle screw kit.. I am wondering if I need the idle kit as well and if its necessary.. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! BTW the carbs are 26mm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxlongshotxX Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 if the tors eliminator kit doesn't come with an idle screw, then you will probably need the kit. dont waste your money on a boost bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabass Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 If you don't put the idle kit in, obviously it won't idle. You don't "need" it if you don't mind having to sit on the bike with your thumb on the throttle while warming it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poolman Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Hey Bball, I just bought the Tor's eliminator kit myself and got rid of those funky clunky boxes on top of the carbs. I got everything I needed from Jeff over at fast. He is a site sponsor. The TORS eliminator kit I bought from him came with the idle screws, a drill bit, and a tap. Jeff also sells the crossober tube. Be very careful and take it very slow when drilling and tapping the carbs. Also when drilling keep the drill bit wet with a light oil like 3 in 1 oil. One of the members on this site had an excellent idea of sticking a broom handle through the carb so that when you are drill you don't hit the other side of the carbs. Also make sure you clean the carbs super good once your done drilling and tapping. You will want to get all of the metal shavings out of the carbs. Also make sure the chuck on your drill does not wobble with the drill bit in it. This will make the hole bigger than the actual size of the drill bit and some of the members who did the TORS eliminator on there carbs where saying that the idle screws fit kinda loose once they where all done. That is because when they tapped the drilled holes they didn't cut the threads very deep because the hole was already over sized by a xunt hair. So seriously make sure your chuck don't wobble.

bball23 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for the info... It seems like some work.. If the tors work fine is it okay to just leave them on and if I already have a boost bottle that came with the quad should I just keep it on or will it cause something bad to the quad?

Starwriter Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for the info... It seems like some work.. If the tors work fine is it okay to just leave them on and if I already have a boost bottle that came with the quad should I just keep it on or will it cause something bad to the quad? If you're going to leave the TORS boxes on, at least unplug the electronic box for it under the left front of the gas tank, to disable the TORS. As Builder stated above, "get a stock cross over tube and loose the boost bottle before you a rip a intake and blow your motor up." Doesn't get much more "bad" than that.

Larry's Shee Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I luckily caught bad boots before they actually ripped. I just plugged the holes with some PVC caps sealed with 3 bond and clamp. Doing the idle screws is super simple, should even be a how-to around here somewhere. Worse case take them to a machine shop with the instructions. It makes life far simpler without the bricks on top of carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
