Gas problem

Currently facing my maker because I accidentally put not even a gallon of two stroke gas in the 1990 f250. It wasn't on e but right above it. I drove it, ran it out of gas on accident and his mom did the same thing the day before. She ok only ran it out of gas to though. Now it runs like **** but I guess it did the day before too because of his mom doing that. So pretty much... It revs high rpms, but won't go like it should. Lol as if there's something blocking it from receiving it's power. You know? Help me out? Did I **** it up that bad? Or what. How do I fix it? Some mechanical experience and if I don't know it I could call my pops for the rest or YouTube that ****. So shoot....
Also, I guess the fuel filter was fine when looked at and not clogged.

If it were me, I’d try the simple stuff first. Put at least a half tank if gas in it. Disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Hook it back up and start it. See if that works.

If not, change your fuel filter

Fill the tank up to full to dilute the 2 stroke oil as much as possible. Check to see if the plugs are fouled.

2 stroke oil won't harm anything and isn't your problem here

Agreed. I've run plenty of 32:1 through my '96 when it gets too old for the little 2 strokes.

What is the basic state of tune/maintenance on this truck?
