I would highly doubt that theory to be honest lol. A 2 stroke engine mixes the fuel and air mixture in the chamber under the piston not on top of it like a 4 stroke, if anything it would draw in to much air making in run leaner, which in turn could cause a siezer of the engine. Best thing to do is check for compression, get a compression tester stick it in the spark plug hole and turn it over, if it's near or less than 120 p.s.i then you have poor compression! Then i would guess on it being the crank seals [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
