It doesnt have spaekThe high revs you describe sounds like air leak.
You make no mention if it has spark or not. Does it??
It is a good move to remove the TORS, it has been known to be troublesome, many people have been left stranded in the woods due to it, you were lucky you got it home.
well yes and noI can cut the tors out without actually gettingthe removal kit, correct?
Pre '03 just unplug brain box, '03+ got to follow directions.
What do you mean by "seems to be good" ?
Do believe the links show testing from stator to plug. Only thing can't be tested is CDI box, tho they rarely fail.
Don't forget to test switches, test plug cap seperatly. Trim 1/4" from plug wire before re-installing plug cap, fresh non corroded wire. Make sure coil mount is clean bare metal.
