I wouldn't. Dirty carbs is one of the top killers of 2 stroke outboards. When the jets are dirty, they aren't flowing fuel like htey should be, and this in turn leans the engine out which can and has burned alot of pistons. The idle problem is because it is lean. So you have to idle way up to keep it running when the load hits the engine. And if it's an air bleed, the ONLY way to clean them is to pull the carbs off. Also make sure they know what they are doing. It always shocks me to see how many people call themselves professionals at working on these old engines, but can't figure out how to line up the link and sync marks when setting the carbs up.
