You just have to make sure you reinstall them. There are no "springs" in there anymore. If the cap is not replaced the needle can turn on it's own from vibes. While you got 'em out of there... trim off the limiting "tabs" before you put 'em back in.

Stihl actually has a tool that removes the limiter caps. Or most people just jam a drywall screw in there and pull. However, you can damage the cap if you use a drywall screw.

The good part is that 2 stroke carbs are a simple design. So taking them apart and cleaning them is a snap. Plus a rebuild kit for that carb is cheap and easy to replace if needed.
Check your inlet screen in the carb is my guess...
