depends what's wrong, if you pour some atf down the carb (not too mich or you'll oil the plugs 
) then that will decarbonise the heads and clean up the valves.
there's a few additives you can get to clean the piston rings and bores, if it's only on full throttle chances are it's only a sticky ring.
and if all else fails, then put up with it!

I've heard Nicorette patches do a good job
OK OK...could be as simple as valve stem seals, pretty easy to change....otherwise poss rings.
