I have a great reliable 2002 viper that is used for a spare when guests come up to the cabin. At the end of last season it wouldn't idle very well and was hard to start. You could keep it running by keeping your hand on the throttle a bit. Any ideas where to start to diagnose the issue? Gas was fresh, plugs were changed etc.... seemed to get progressively worse over the last 2 seasons.

Clean the carbs. The pilots are likely plugged. There are how tos in the tech section

Just my 2 cents. I have a Viper and an SRX and this would be a drill every Spring for the past few years. When they were new it was never an issue. Drop the fuel bowls, remove the pilot jets and clean them good. Problem solved. I have been using Premium non ethanol fuel and this year they both started and idled fine.
