It will be an easy test if your mech has a tank to run it in. If the carbs are shellacked, it will bog down under power. Let him know it has set up for two years, he should know what to do.
I use a product I buy at Academy called "Starbrite Instant Boat Cleaner." Just follow directions on the bottle. I fish a couple of swampy lakes and the scum line stands out like a sore thumb. This cleaner makes it an easy job. You may find it in other stores if there isn't an Academy close by. Do not let the cleaner overspray get on any painted surface, it will mar the paint!!
