Welcome!

I would start by doing a compression check (with a gauge not your foot) to start with and then go to the jetting guide. That should get you going in the right direction.

Do a leakdown if you can. If 'missing' is acutally detonation your motor will be scrap soon. Detonation sounds a little different on a 2-cycle...esp if it's light. A leakdown will find a leaky crank seal.
