I agree with turbo. That amount of smoke is not worth worrying about now. It might also be a too rich setting on the carb. My 50 288 smoked at first start before a carb rebuild and tune up. It also smelt very much like petrol so it was running way rich. Might be your problem as well. Also the engine might need a good run in to remove all buold up if it sat around for a while. Mine gets better the more I run it.
