I think it might be worth the investment to get some fresh gasoline and
some
OMC/Johnson/Evinrude 2 cycle oil and mix it accurately to 50:1.

Lloyd,
I would do what Bill suggested first with the fresh gas and correct oil
mixture.
If it still smoke real bad you might want to look at the Carburetors.
They may
be loading up causing the rich gas/oil to dump in the cylinders.
Remember Gas
burn better then Oil

Sounds like I should "explore" a too-rich mixture. There's a knob on the
front -
does that change mixture at all rpms or just idle (or what DOES it do?)

I want to get some fresh gas, but I'm not sure what to do with the old
stuff.
My lawn mower would explode - it's electric!

Put it in a 5 gallon can and try the new fuel. You can always add a gallon
to your van every fillup.
