What year is it? Should be fine... How's it run overall?

Sounds good to me. I go by if all cylinders are within 10% of each other you are good to go.

Is it excessively smoky or is there a leak in the system somewhere?

Smoaky . cuts off at idle speed

First thing to check is for an air leak in the fuel line/system. Aerated fuel entering the VRO pump makes it cycle much faster than usual and as a result it pumps much more oil than it normally would.
