I have an '02 Viper. Its pretty much stock. It has about 2000 miles on it. When I goose the throttle from a stand still or low speed the engine bogs down. If I kind of feather it up to higher rpms and speed and then get on the throttle it will really move. I just did a thorough carb clean and power valve clean. I put new plugs in it. It has always ran great in previous years under the same conditions. Any thoughts on what to look for or try?
Thanks

Have you tried flipping the choke lever to see if it helps? If it does, take carbs back off and re-clean pilot jets. You absolutely have to look through them and make sure you can see a tiny round hole through them before putting them back in. Or, the fuel screws didn't get adjusted back to where they were set at. Easy to miss plugged pilots if a little inexperienced at carb cleaning (just guessing, don't know if you are or not), I've had to pull them back off a couple of times (I never learn the first time, lol).
Spot on, but if you don't find anything check your TORS and clutches.mod-it said:Have you tried flipping the choke lever to see if it helps? If it does, take carbs back off and re-clean pilot jets.
