Nooooooooo. No solvent. Either have a proper CLA done, or put up with it as
it is.
Putting solvent inside just moves the gunk around. You may get the shutter
working
OK for a while, but it will soon gum up again. Further the solvent could move
gunk
onto the shutter blades in which case you will have to send it for a proper CLA.
