Default Massive fuel consumption & smoke

Hi, first post on here but have been reading for a while.
2015 EC300 Racing all standard (as far as I know) apart from 52 rear sprocket
Quite low hours & decent condition.
50:1 ratio using Putoline MX7 fully synthetic.
Was racing an Enduro at the weekend, dropped her on a slow corner & stalled.
When I picked her up she was difficult to start at first & then wouldn't tick over.
Continued the race but she used nearly twice as much fuel as usual.
One of my m8s said she had been badly smoking the whole race.
Filter was well clogged with dust so I put my spare on but she stills smokes like a chimney but revs reasonably well.
When i tapped the carb fuel came out the overflow.
Any ideas?
Steve
