Default 1995 Sportsman 400 problems

My Sportsman seems like it is getting way too much oil in with the gas (lots of smoke, ect...). I don't know anything about the injection system or what could be causing this. Anyone who might know or have some ideas it would be great to read what you have to say. Thanks.

better too much than too little aye???? type in oil injection in the search, it will tell you about lining the amount marks up to adjust the oil....

Too much fuel can cause smoking also and may think oil related,plus over time exhaust will have a lot of accumulated oil residue,has cleanout plug,but usually doesnt help much. Is it fouling plugs,running ok,not making excessive rattling noises in engine? Oil pumps pretty dependable UNLESS pump frozen,corroded. Pull small plate at front of engine (three screws),check condition of pump.
