What would cause an engine to smoke excessively?
Pretty sure its not the oil seals or to much 2 stroke.
Could a cold plug cause it?
When i was young my Mom said "if you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing at all " ..................... and people wonder why I'm quiet around them !

Lack of air. Have you checked your air intake? Your air filter system?
