Viper bog

[jesseSRX]

I have an 02 Viper. just got it out of storage and rode it for the first time last night. It runs great unless I am going less than 10 miles per hour. Then it seems to bog and idle very very low. If I open the choke halfway it seems to help. Once the RPM's are up and I am moving it is fine. Is this a dirty carb issue?

also...the warning light and gas gage constantly blink on and off. would that have anything to do with it?

any advice is appreciated.

Is it possible that the problem could be solved by running sea foam through it?

best bet is to take off the carbs and clean the passages and all the jets. then you know for sure its cleaned.

Possible - Sure.

Probable - Nope. Tear them apart and do it right.

Pilots if I had to put $$ on it.

My Venom did that on start up this year. Two pilots had a blockage.Carbs were clean except for a little staining on the float bottoms and some salt like looking granuales on the plastic ring on the main jets.Think thats what got in my pilots...oh the fuel these days!!!

I almost would put 10.00 on one or multiple plugged pilot jets.

1-like the other boy's said pull carbs and clean,pull all jets and clean then blow out jets/carb passages with shop air.

2-your warning light your full on fuel aand it still blinks??

Sea Foam is a preventative, not really a cure. If you have varnish build up it will loosen and dislodge and plug up your carb even more. Once you have your fuel system cleaned Sea Foam a couple times a year works amazing to maintain a clean system.
