If you mean you over filled the engine with oil, then drain some out untill the level is right. You could be burning oil because you have improperly installed rings, or maybe the head gasket is leaking. You might start by double checking the torque on the head bolts.

Good that you figured it out, the info I gave you wasn't any good anyway since that is a two-stroke machine. I had 4-stroke on the brain, I should have known better, sorry. So your problem and solution make sense, you just had to burn off the excess oil.
