1st Ride & sled won't idle
Got our first snow here in NW PA, got my sled (02 SRX700) out for the first ride and found it was hard to start and then would not idle. So I
1) Replaced the Gas (which contained fuel stabilizer from summer storage)
2) Changed the plugs
3) Rode the sled for about an hour at various speeds
No problem once the sled is moving, but still will not idle with out stalling out.
Suggestions..............?

Remove the throttle cable from the rack of carbs.
Remove Air Box,
clamp off the anti freeze lines to the carbs.
Remove lines
Loosen clamps
Pull carbs back
remove gas lines,
remove choke cable
take carbs to the bench...
remove the float bowl drains to drain gas.
Take float bowls off
remove pilots and clean with carb cleaner
clean main jets
clean all gunk from float bowls and reinstall everything.
If you have never done this before you may want to have someone with experience assist you.

Got it done, 2 of 3 pilots were clogged. Its back together and idling fine....next spring I'm draining the carbs and the gas tank before storage.
Thanks again Mr Sled!
