I've cleaned all the jets and pulled the floats and cleaned the plungers as well. Both moved freely and everything seemed in proper operating condition, however my knowledge is limited.

I'll pull the front plug and check its condition and see if it is getting spark. I am comfortable with working out basic issues and am hopeful this is not a major one. There is a shop I have worked with before, so I am going to call them and find out about their knowledge of two strokes.

Thanks for the replies, it will be Tuesday before the shop opens so keep the thoughts going and I'll look into everything I can between now and then.
