You can certainly wash cylinders if they (Webers) or ANY carburetor are run excessively rich or if the floats stick and allow raw fuel to get dumped. If adjusted properly and used with good fuel filters they require little maintenence or adjustment. With that in mind if you are not clear on how they operate and how to adjust them, it's best left to someone
that does. It sounds like you were delt a bad hand from the begining, good luck going forward.
