Cleaned my power valves today on my 1998 srx 700 and wow! hard to believe the things 12 years old already. I raced my brother in laws 02 xc 800 a week ago and beat him all three runs i would love to race him again now and really clean his clock lol. However i do have a problem with the power cutting out still someone told me on here to check my tors not sure what they meant can someone explain this to me and how to correct the problem thanks for any help LONG LIVE THE SRX

In the past i had an issue with my carb linkige being a bit out of rig with the tors switch. To troubleshoot it I pulled the wires apart at the carb rail, there are two wires all you need to do is disconnect them and see if the problem goes away. In my case it was an 01sxr700 but the srx appears to be the same. Good luck. I must also caution you that the tors is to prevent the throttle from sticking open. After you disconnect it you have no protection from a stuck throttle.

thors is the throttle overide system ....it will cut cut out motor to keep it from being a ghost sled .....over ride it and drive the sled and see if it still cuts out ? when u say cut out you means just loses rpm`s or like it has been shut off for just a second ?

you also have to connect the 2 wires on the harness side together, not just unplug
thanks guys ya when i say cut out the engine bogs and loose rpm's and will stay bogging/and won't rev unless the revs fall below 3000 rpm then she'll go again wierd i say. so i will try your suggestions on tors now that i know what it is and see what happens, I'll keep u posted again thanks

It's theTORS bug.... Make sure your throttle cable has some slack in it. Soc
