No, plugging the snorkel would be a bad idea. Only way to dial in the carbs is to get them jetted right and adjust the mixture screw correctly. The inline fuel filter is easy to find. Trace the fuel line from the tank to where it plugs onto a T fitting between the carbs, the filter in in that T fitting where the main line plugs on. I have never had to mess with mine on my 04.
