Poor fuel mixture,And put a new spark plug in it very often Even if it looks good replace it. Will make a world of difference.

yes, an oily plug
use the best 2-stroke oil you can, some of the cheap stuff does not mix so well. If your machine is an old one and you have to put oil in the petrol/gas tank then be careful to get the mix right. If it is autolube (with a separate oil tank) then get the mix adjuster checked.
make sure you wind up the revs sometimes to clear residual oil from the exhaust (not right outside your neighbours' house!)

two things to consider.
1. run the petrol /oil mix right out before stopping the engine if you are not going to use for a few days. the fuel evaporatres and leaves higher content of oil in the carby bowl.
2. whip the plug out and clean.

Fouled spark plug
Dirty carb
No spark or timing is off
Seized or worn cylinder, piston & rings
Dirty air filter
Reed valves not sealing
Leaking crankcase due to worn crank seals or crankcase halves not sealed, creating a low vacuum.
Usually in that order.
