No the engine should not "Gum-up" in just 2 weeks.......unless????
The oil to gas mixture is way to strong.
Or another possiblity is water in the gas. Ethonal fuel will get water in it if it is left open very long or has been in the container for more than a few weeks.
If all these suggestions don't get the engine running good.....you might try pulling the spark plug and clean it.
