Sounds to me like the same thing that is wrong with your CR: bad muffler bearing. 2 strokes are known for throwingn them. Just ask Super_Duck. He runs a 2-stroke. Hey, when they go, they go...

Take the carb out and clean it.  Also make sure to drain all of the old fuel out of the bike and use fresh stuff.  YOu will also want to verify that the reeds are still in tact, if they look questionable replace them.  If that all fails, do a compression test to verify you have compression...

agree.... bet it's the darn reeds but if it's not..... it has to be either the muffler bearings like Edgar said or the powerband is stretched out. You might also check to see if the bike has enough revs. If not.. go buy some revs and fill her up!

You should probably just scrap it and buy a new one.  Why don't you ship that one to me and I'll dispose of it properly.

 ;D
