I have a 2006 Vector GT. I have always used stable at the end of the season & made sure it got into the carbs. For some reason when starting it today to do some maint. work it would not run right. I did put fresh gas in it also. It seems that when the choke is on it will run fine, even after warm up. I suspect that the main pilot jet is plugged. I know I will have to remove the air box to get to the carbs, but how hard is it to remove the jet & clean it out without removing the carbs.
Thank,s in advance

You don't have to remove the carbs.
If it helps, you can loosen the intake flange clamps and pull the carbs straight out of the intake boots and then tilt the carbs upwards with all of the cables still attached. Then you will have full and easy access to the bottom of the carb. I removed the float bowls from my carbs this way, and then removed the pilot jets and mains just for inspection. Be sure to pull both the main and pilots when you clean. The pilot jets are VERY small and from what I have read, they tend to gum easily. If you are storing your sled with stabil, it doesn't hurt to drain the floats even after you have added the fuel treatment.
