2 stroke G1 smell

Where would I begin looking for the problem of my golf cart stinking really bad when it's running? Would it be the exhaust or something related to the oil?
The smoke color is white

You might want to check if the muffler is all blocked up with oil and carbon.

G1 like to collect oil in the muffler, the huge muffler. What happens is people drive them short trip and the muffler stays cold. One day someone goes running all over and it gets hot, then the oil catches on fire in there and tons of white smoke come out of the cart. You can get rid of it two ways, either to run the cart a long time and it happens again you keep running the cart, floor it a lot, for about 15-20 min and the smoke will finally stop. But it may make a HUGE cloud before it is done. This may be really funny, or really not funny depending on your outlook. Then your muffler is burned out and it should be fine for some time. Or you can take muffler out and toss into a bonfire and let it burn out that way, or I guess you can buy a new one but that is expensive. You can also cut the end off the muffler and manually clean it out then weld it back shut if you are capable.

You can run higher quality synthetic oil, it usually makes the least amount of smoke in normal use. You only need 100:1 if you are not running the injection.
