Not unless you're a qualified repairman. Sounds like it's in need of a good
CLA, which I've had done as a matter of routine to my Fs and F2s.
A possible (though probably temporary) fix is just to keep firing the
shutter at all speeds for half an hours or so, and see if the problem
improves. If it does, it means that you've moved about some of the 'gunk'
which is probably causing the problem. This is often the case with the slow
speed escapement, which gets gummed up if it isn't exercised once in a
while.
Hope this helps.
