Could be a head gasket sucking coolant into the cylinder and burning it.

White smoke is usually coolant entering the combustion chamber on a liquid cooled engine.
I had my New motor blow white smoke a couple times and it never happend again, but it had a bluish tint to it aswell. Its fine now. Maybe sniff the exhaust somewhat to figure out if it is oil entering the conbustion chamber. Rings off the top of my head will let oil in the chamber.
Do these engines have a vent from the crankcase to the intake and it can be letting oil in the chamer?

I am no expert by any means but I am confused......just where is that coolant coming from? Is it in the air running across your air cooled motor or did you hook up a radiator?

If you were dumping to much fuel in it would be black smoke. White would be it's running lean. Blueish white smoke is oil. My boat was black smoking when my carb needed adjusting
