I had a friend that is a Mercury Outboard Tech listen to the bike I just got

He said the low end jets are clogged, one or more

It wont idle good have to use choke and bogs down at take off...runs great at higher rpms or above 25 or 30 mph

When's the last time the carbs were cleaned? Best to start with squeaky-clean carbs & go from there. Unless you know for sure the carbs were cleaned properly, then that portion of the "30 yr maintenance plan" is where to start...

Hi,

Your bike needs proper maintenance. Go through the maintenance lists in your "mega-welcome" and address each task. Skipping steps or taking shortcuts will lead to frustration at best, severe death and injury at worse.

He gave me paper work that shows the fork oil changed flushed etc. chain cleaned and lubed new plugs...bran new Metlez tires bran new brake pad front and rear and brake flush..said gas tank cleaned and carbs cleaned

I put a deposit on this bike in Oct so he parked it inside then and didnt ride it...i made pmts to him and paid him off last week and got the bike. So it has sat since Oct

Chances are, it's not the jets that are clogged, it's the little passages in the bodies that are behind the jets.

The best way to fix that is to do a full "strip and dip" rebuild, probably a good time to install new o-rings, too.

Please listen to these guys; far too often previous owners (POs) are great story tellers and nothing more. Do the work the right way now or you will fight it all riding season

Be that as it may, the bike still will not run properly/safely until all of the proper maintenance has been done. I do all of the proper maintenance on my bike, it runs great, and I ride it all the time. I encourage you to do the same.

The #5 reply to your original post from hamphshirehog has a link to extensive instructions well worth following.
yes, you can just remove the floatbowls, but, the carbs have to come off,
the jet is accessible after float bowls are removed. the orifice in the low speed (pilot,idle) jet is incredibly tiny, one strand from a piece of wire might pass through the hole...the attached link here shows a cutaway and brief cleaning instructions of a similar carb http://dr350.wikia.com/wiki/CV_Carburetor_cleaning
