Can't get it to accelerate without big bog that will kill the motor if not turning back throttle to idle. If you turn throttle slowly it will rev up but blowing smoke out exhaust. I cleaned carb thoroughly. Found engine oil in airbox on that screen looking part. Pulled spark plugs I think they are oily. Put camera down plug holes pistons look a little wet to me. Crosshatch still good. What do you think of these plugs? Oily? What to do next?

Oily for a properly tuned and operating 4 stroke

Guessing the “smoke” is excess fuel. Either the carbs are out of adjustment or the ignition module is having issues

Why don't you think it's burning oil? What about the fresh oil I'm finding in the breather hose and airbox screen?

How does oil get from the combustion chamber to the air box?

Compression numbers?

Spark test?

Complete disassembly and cleaning of the carbs?

Checked timing?

Is this similar to a car where I can pressurize the cylinder through the spark plug hole then change seals? No need to pull cylinder head right?
