I few things came to mind.

1. Defective fuel petcock
2. Clogged or restricted fuel line
3. Defective fuel cap/vent valve
4. Incorrect or malfunctioning carb float
5. Bad coil

possibly a plugged vent line on the fuel tank.

as for the smoke,... how's it feel when it is running?
any strange sounds, vibrations, etc???
