Took the bike for its first run today after passing an MOT yesterday (350LC 4L0). It runs like a pig

It splutter and coughs getting bad at about 4,500 and wont rev above 6,000. There is also quite a bit of smoke out of one exhaust. I tried another coil but got the same result. I whipped the plugs out and both were oily and a bit black. Put new plugs in and for a few seconds seemed ok then after a couple hundred yards the stutter kicked in again.

Is it the right pump that is over oiling causing the stutter and if so how do i adjust the pump

Consolation is it starts first kick every time

What have you done recently to it. Did you buy it like that or have you worked on it. Have you changed anything on it, did it run ok before ? It could be the oil pump set to rich but it would more likely be that that would run lean as cable stretched or someone has altered it. What more can you tel us about its recent past ?
