I purchased my bike used and it starts just fine but when I try to give it some throttle while it's in neutral it pretty much dies immediately. After some searching it seems like cleaning the carbs was the most recommended solution for this problem, but the bike only has 1100 miles on it and the dealer claimed that the previous owner had brought it in a couple of days before I purchased it which has me worried.

Anyways, this is the first thing I was going to try to do once I get all my tools but for actually cleaning out the jets, would something like this have enough oomph to clean out the jets?

Or would I need something more heavy duty?

Thanks.
