02 Sx viper won't idle all of a sudden

[Yamaman 02]

My viper ran and idled fine 3 weeks ago, yesturday i started it and it idled for 5 to 10 seconds and quit. I have to pull out the choke to get it to idle. Part throttle and full throttle are okay, have full power, but as soon as i let off the throttle it stalls and still won't idle without the choke. What is wrong? And how do I fix it?

pilots are probably clogged, need to clean the carbs, if you go to ty tech section theres instructions with pics on how to do so
welcome to the site

I'd agree with staggs65 here. Had the same problem with a friend's venture 700, cleaned the carbs and runs like new

with all the posts I have been reading,it seems if everyone cleaned their carbs like it should be,there may not be a need for this TY site...lol. Just an observation....
