    2 stroke starts and runs, shaft wont turn

    2 stroke starts and runs, shaft wont turn

    I have a 2 stroke 50cc engine that starts and idles fine, but when I throttle, the shaft doesnt turn at all. The engine just revs. It is like its in neutral if it was a car. How can I fix this? is it a problem with the idle adjustment screw?
