Original issue fixed I believe:
Fresh out of storage my sled would note idle well and would stall and have power loss at low speeds. So based on what I read I decided I’d try and clean the carburetors. Mainly the jet and pilot as mentioned in your forum. All went well as my sled seems to be running much smoother and idles great. I have adjusted it to idle at 1,800RMP.
NEW PROBLEM:
I took it for the first good ride around the yard (Finally got snow). For the first few laps it seemed fine. What seems to be happening is that when I release the throttle the RPM don’t drop fast enough and if I give it throttle again it just hesitates (Almost sounds like its fluttering or flooding) and the RPM sit at 3,000 until I let them drop down again to around 1,800. I can then resume with what appears as full power. Until at some point I release the throttle and it seems to happen again.
I normally take my sled to have it worked on but decided this year I wanted to give it a try myself. So I’m not super familiar with all the adjustments. Based on what I read it seems like what happens when you engage the T.O.R.S.
Hope someone can give me an idea what to maybe adjust or take a look at first. I think I did a good job removing and replacing the carburetors but I think cleaning them is now leading to other adjustments.
Thanks in advance.

did you adjust your throttle cable properly? if its too tight this could happen. there should be 2 mm free play beteen the hand throttle and base where it rests.

Drop the idle down to 1500rpm. I have a piped viper and the rpm would hang, so I dropped the idle and that fixed it. I have heard on here that stock vipers will do the same thing
Where are your fuel screws turned to.......
I will try lessening the throttle cable. I don’t think I have enough free play as you described.
The Fuel screws are at 1.5 turns out from seated. They were between 1.5 and 1.75 when I cleaned them originally.

I would open the fuel screws up at least another 1/4 turn and loosen the cable for sure.

Check your cable routing on your handlebars, Mine would activate the tors and spit and sputter when turning around then clear up on the straight aways. I ended up tie wrapping the cables to stop them from moving out of place. Start your sled, move your steering around and watch your cables, sled shouldn't rev up as you turn? and can also activate the tors. Cable routing must be in the right spot. Hope this helps
