I am new to the forum and I am sure that this thread seems like a broken record to most of you, but I need help.

I have had my blaster for 4 years. When I bought it I rebuilt the carb and put a new air filter on it. The last time I went to ride it it cranked on 3 kicks and idled fine, but won't take any throttle. It just dies at any movement of the throttle, but will fire right back up with 1 kick and idle. I put new reeds in it and cleaned the air filter. I also removed the pipe to make sure it and the silencer is free flowing. I also check the piston and cylinder with the pipe off, all that looks great. I didn't check the compression, but it feels good and it ran fine before. I have read some about tors, but I am not really sure what it does. I unplugged the tors box that is on top of the carb and the engine wouldn't fire. Plugged it back up and it fired right up, but won't take any throttle still. Is there a way to disable the tors without buying the eliminator kit that I read about? If I was sure that the tors was the problem then I wouldn't mind spending the money on the eliminator kit, I only have about $400 in this thing and don't won't to spend any more money than I have to.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
definately a TORS problem. Likely a faulty park brake switch or faultly throttle switch. Unplug the Tors brain box and I suspect you problem will go away. A TORS elimination kit isn't necissary to disconnect the system, it just cleans up the clutter a bit.
 
I unplugged all the tors wires today on my lunch break. It fired up and idled better than before and I could give it throttle, but it is acting like it is flooded at WOT. At WOT it pops and hesitates. If I try to take of it doesn't have any power and bogs. Could this be an ignition related problem? (stator, coil, cdi, etc.?) This thing has always ran great until now. So far I have cleaned the carb (has been rebuild not long ago), new plug, new reeds, new air filter, checked the p&c, checked the exhaust to see if it was clogged, and disabled the tors. And it is still not right.
 
could be a number of the things you mentioned....trial and error start by testing the coil....could be a shearedflywheel key.....low compression.. test the compression....

check all these things out
