    burning oil or air fuel mix too rich? If its burning oil and smoking then a overhaul is the obvious answer. usually the air/fuel needs to be WAY off to foul plugs in a 4 stroke, check all simple things over first, make sure air filter is clean, fresh fuel, new plug, open carb and give it a good cleaning and make sure no parts are missing.

    Do everything tri moto man said. Also, make sure it is jetted correctly, if you bought it from somebody in a different altitude or weather conditions that is probably the problem. There is a thread specifically on carb jetting, you should check it out it has a lot of information in it.
