Welcome to the forum. Usually smoke on start up means worn valve guides and / or valve seals.
What is the compression on each cylinder? Do a compression test. If it is low, then squirt a smidgen of oil ( Not too much, or you might hydrolock the piston) onto the cylinder wall, then do another test. If the compression rises significantly, the rings are stuffed.
