I'm also one of those 2-stroke guys...I've found adding 2 ounces of good quality 2-stroke oil to my tank at fill-up effectively kills the crickets with Ultra 94. It sounds questionable, but it works.

That used to be a common thing with the RX-8, but in that case it was to help lubricate the apex seals.

Iirc, the OFT raises the idle to 750. I used to have the same issue, but not since the OFT.
