Most 2 strokes adjust the idle speed via the timing. It only takes 1 or 2 degrees of timing change to REALLY screw up how the engine runs. Fuel needs compression to ignite, and if it ignites even a degree or 2 to late, it may not be under enough compression to fully combust which causes ALL kinds of problems.
