    I take it it was fine before?

    Spray WD40 over the carb and hoses ect if it affects the engine you have a leak

    yh it was fine before ? I dont possibly understand how it can just fuck up like that. I know i have an oil leak where it connects the oil tank cas tiny and i mean tiny bits of oil are dripping down about a 1/5th of a cup a day and dripping onto my crank case

    You need to fix that leak. White smoke generally means it's fine unless there's loads that means to much oil.

    Do them one by one. Jet first then check everything else.
