No offense dude but you might just have a lot of sludge and grime in your crankcase.
If the clutch has been feeling funny it could be plates. What kind of machine is it?

How many hours since the last rebuild? Short skirt pistons like the 450s use allow alot more combustion products to slip into the crankcase than a more conventional style. Add to that Honda uses a smaller amount of oil. If your rings are getting worn maybe they are just letting more crap into your oil.

Does atv run good? sounds like you carb is running way to rich..... breaking oil down.IMO i would rejet back to stock and run the same amount of time and see if oil is black if is then other problems,But if it started when install jet kit then this would be an good place to start at.
