thanks. The idle was turned down, but the carb has not been adjusted beyond that and certainly not rebuilt.

I don't change my plugs but once every two years. I have the Indigo 
electronic ignition (a lot of folks don't like electronic ignitions).

In any event, if you've adjusted the carb so it isn't running too rich, 
and it isn't burning oil, you might want to try a new coil.
