40HP Yamaha outboard Motor Problem?

The motor is a 2 stroke engine. Starts up, but will not idle. Runs at high speed. Low speed jet may be problem. Any suggestions on how to remedy the problem?
 
Remove carb(s), disassemble, soak overnight in carb cleaner, blow out all passages with compressed air (or aerosol carb cleaner), reassemble with new carb kit(s), reinstall, link & sync, adjust mixture screw(s) (if equipped).

It really is as easy as it sounds.
