Depending upon which carb you have , sorting out the idle circuit can require a full rebuild kit & removing welch plugs & bungs or just pulling out the idle jet & blowing out the passages.
A blocked idle will also affect the high speed where the fuel will be 95% high jet & 5% idle jet so the effect of an idle jet 1/2 blocked is not all that much.
If it does not bother you & the mower continues to run on low idle then you might just leave well enough alone.
After all, low idle is for warming the engine and opening gates.
Al all other times the engine should be running full governed speed.
