I think it might be worth the investment to get some fresh gasoline
and
some
OMC/Johnson/Evinrude 2 cycle oil and mix it accurately to 50:1.

Lloyd,
I would do what Bill suggested first with the fresh gas and correct
oil
mixture.
If it still smoke real bad you might want to look at the
Carburetors.
They may
be loading up causing the rich gas/oil to dump in the cylinders.
Remember Gas
burn better then Oil

Sounds like I should "explore" a too-rich mixture. There's a knob on
the
front -
does that change mixture at all rpms or just idle (or what DOES it
do?)

I want to get some fresh gas, but I'm not sure what to do with the old
stuff.
My lawn mower would explode - it's electric!

Put it in a 5 gallon can and try the new fuel. You can always add a
gallon
to your van every fillup.

That should do wonders for the fuel injectors.

15 gallons of fresh and a gallon of 25:1. less oil than a can of topoil.
Bill

sorry Bill, should have simpled it down for you. Two stroke motor oil
is not the same as a "can of topoil". Fuel injectors aren't made to
have oil pushed through them, leaving deposits, eventually gumming
them up beyond working condition. Contact a representative of a
reputable company that manufactures fuel injectors, say, Bosch, and
see what they say. There are other negative factors involved also. The
added exhaust particulates, when read by the O2 sensor, makes the
computer think there is a rich condition, then tries to lean it out.
