Do a compression test, most likely time for a rebuild
 
LX210 has 2 stroke engines.
Oh. Well then, put a four stroke in it, THEN check your oil for gas. :D

What I do on my old ditch banging yamaha (two stroke triple) is take the plugs out - dump some Seafoam down into the cylinders, crank the motor, dump more Seafoam, reinstall the plugs, and let sit for a day. The start it up in a well ventilated area.

You could also try getting the motor up to operating temp and spraying Seafoam into the carb until it start to die. Then spray more and let it hot soak overnight.

I don't sell Seafoam, I swear - but it's amazing stuff for motors!

I'm going to do a compression test tonight if rain let's up. Also is it possible carb needle or float stuck In one of the cylinders.

On my triple I warm it up and then do the check with the throttle open while cranking.
