    The choke out and smoke are too rich a mixture of fuel air. As DG suggests check air filter first, that is easy. If that is OK and there is some age on the engine and it has a common bowl carburetor, the float may have lost adjustment from vibration, seen that a few times. Sometimes you can just lean out the high speed mixture screw a little bit to compensate for that saving you disecting the carburetor to check the float.
