in 4 stroke engines its easy to read the spark plug and adjust the air ful mixture but on two stroke engines the spark plug normally is covered by oil. What can i do?

If it's covered in oil you have a problem. You need to check a few things. If it has an oil pump it's delivering too much oil, if it's a gas oil mix there is too much oil. There are other reasons for oiling but without seeing the machine it would take too long to explain. If you have a the right oil/air/gas mix the colour of the plug should be a biscuit colour,you need a magnifier with a light to read it because the biscuit colour is read at the base of the insulator.

usually people look at the head of the spark plug. if its too dark or dirty (usually covered by oil or burn waste), then u need to change a new one.

no they shouldnt be covered in oil, it should read the same as a 4-choke but except when covered inoil, way to rich.
