Default 2 stroke blowing smoke

I have a 2001 Polaris 250. I don’t use it very often and was running great when I parked it 4 months ago. I recently started it and seemed like it was struggling to stay running and blowing a lot of smoke. It will start and reun for 10-15 seconds then sputter our. It will start again after a minute or two but seems like it’s leaking oil out the exhaust. I know it’s not plain oil because it’s a two stroke but it’s blowing it out the exhaust joints. Any tips or thoughts? It’s a great matching but I don’t want to throw money at a money pit

First thing is to clean the carb. It sounds like it's flooding. pay attention to the needle and seat.
