...most likely causes of this? exhaust has a bit of smoke in it
plugs last 2-3 months after replacement before engine knocks

1. Worn valve guides/seals.
2. Worn piston rings/cylinder bores.

If it is knocking, you probably need a new engine.

sounds like you rings or valve seals are shot.. bottom line you need a rebuild or replace of the engine. Mitzi engins dontlast much over 80 or 90 thousand without wearing out
