Default Old engines

Hi guys.
Ive got a enya 40 2 stroke that is fitted in my trainer. This hasnt flown for a number of years and i thought it would be fun to get it in the air again.
My question is after giving it a test run on the ground the engine seamed to get hot quickly and hunt in RPM.
A friend of mine suggested that the engine might need cleaning internally because of lack of use. He said to soak the engine in MEK or similar solvent. Does this sound like a good idea?
