bike trouble

hi all got a two stroke which doesnt seem to want to idle, no matter what
adjustments i make it wont idle and is very sluggish. when i try to get it
up to top speed it starts to die. any ideas? replace carby? its a auto mixed
two stroke i took it to a mechanic a while ago and he fixed it but it didnt
last all that long.

 

go through the basics first

new plug
carb clean
check fuel flow is ok
fit fuel filter if you don't have one

what bike ?

 

lots of oil on the plug i think i might need new rings

If the bike smokes a lot and you know your timing is right and you
aren't feeding it too much oil, then you might need rings.

Oil on the plugs is more likely to be the mixture is too rich.

Clean your air filter to start with.
