Default Banshee running on one cylinder

My Banshee is running on just the left cylinder. It wouldn't fire in the first place so I disconected the TORS and now I have spark just to the left cylinder. Stator and switches check out. What am I missing here?

Check all the wires that are around the CDI. Maybe one is cracked? If they are all hooked up correctly, have a stealership check your stator.

So, you only have spark to one cylinder? you mean you pulled the plug and watched it? Change up which wire is on which plug and see if the miss switches sides. If it does then completely switch out the plug wires to see if its a bad one.

if all else fails and everything works accept it running.. check the compression with a digital compression gauge (good to the .10th psi) and check your compression in both cylinders if its exactley the same or almost exactley (within a few 10ths) it could be the center seal is bad and only one cylinder will fire sometimes (happens with older sleds)

Well, it turns out that it was a combination of things. First the slide in the carb was stuck. Don't know how that happened. That tripped the TORS. I started to pull the carbs off and noticed that the hose between the carbs was off as well. So I cleaned everything out with carb cleaner and it fired right up. Thanks for the suggestions.
