Do not add extra oil to the tank, you will upset the air fuel ratio and cause it to run lean.
Lean means hotter and can fry the motor.
The reason it will run boggy is that there is not enough fuel min the mix
Adding oil provides extra lubrication to the bottom end, but is very detrimental as the temps in the combustion chamber can be extreme due to lack of fuel.
Do not, I say again, do not, add extra oil.

ok fellas i got a new spark plug. i placed it in the boot and grounded it out to a place ont the motor and no blue spark but the blaster sounded like it wanted to turn over.. progress from the cold kick last night. my problem is when i screwed the spark plug back into the carb and placed the boot back to it and tried to kick it it sounded like it did last night. no hesitation at the motor at all. can somebody tell me why that is. aand what my next option should be. and i also drained all the rich gas from the tank and ran the correct mix (32.1) now sowhats next
It sounds like you are low in compression.
Do a compression test, if you do not have a tester, pull the exhaust pipe off and look up the exhaust port to see if the piston and rings are damaged.
I see where you figure it'll be lean on fuel but not where you say that it will cause the top end to burn up. I've done this before on my 500 and it barely would get up to operating temps. I was on the practice track down the road from my house and needed to get home and had to do that. I do see, however, where you would assume that more oil would mean that theres more particles per particle and create heavy 'oil blobs' that would sit in the bottom end. Basically, say he's sitting at 50:1. You dump more oil in the tank and it'll make it like 20:1. More oil = more lubrication. But he's drained the fuel now so that matter is resolved.
Them little blobs of oil form a puddle in the crancase which is then splashed around to lubricate the motor.
The oil in suspension in the premix has no lubricating properties, until it forms as a puddle in the crankcase.
When the oil puddle exceeds a certain level it is passed to the combustion chamber and then burnt.
More oil does not mean more lubrication, it actually means less fuel, resulting in a lean condition which will detonate and destroy the top end.
In my experience a change from 50:1 to 20:1, would need at least 2 sizes larger main jet and a clip richer on the needle.
I often ride in varying elevations and temperatures and I can, and do, fine tune my motor by altering the AFR by varying my oil to fuel ratio.
after i do the cpmpression check on her what should i do. i have noticed since yesterday she is not catching as well as it was so maybe.. how do i add compression after i use the tester.. and on the tester what should it read
Are you having a lend of me, everybody knows that you cram $10 notes into the plughole to raise compression.
If you have over 100psi the motor should start.
I would bet a dollar, to a handfull of crap that your top end is ruined and needs a re-build.
I was questioning if you were joking about adding compression!
I was having a joke at your expense, the only way to get back lost compression, is to re build the top end, and that takes dollars.

Thanks for explaining that better. I've still never heard of a 2-stroke overheating from too much oil and neither have my uncles who built the first ATC250R while Mr. Honda was still having wet dreams about it (185 frame with a IT250 Yamaha motor (I think IT, I ant remember what he just told me..lol). And detonate from over heating? I've only heard an seen that happen with not enough oil
An engine will not overheat from too much oil, the prob lies with adding more oil to the pre mix.
Adding oil to gas takes the place of fuel in the mix, therfore it is gas lean.
An example, take a bucket filled to the brim of liquid, toss in a can of beans.
What happens, fluid will spill out of the bucket. The same as adding oil to fuel, there will be less fuel in the mix.
Adding oil to fuel affects the air fuel ratio and makes it gas lean.
More oil = less fuel = lean mix = detonation = boom.
Detonation resulting from a lean mix causes overheating.
Lack of lubrication can also cause overheating causing component failure.

Explained very well, it is a shame that you were not born with three hands though.
Maybe shoot you a little green.I:I

Haha I was wondering where the rep come from! Thanks and yea a third hand would come in handy. Or a camera and tripod. Or a go pro lol
