Thanks Grumpy.

The smoke is bluish white. It got noticeably more obvious after the last oil change which was ~6-8hrs of operation ago.

It also puts out a small cloud of black smoke and momentarily drops the revs if the engine is throttled up quickly, but I assume that is just the governor pouring fuel in trying to catch up.

The engine starts first pull every time and runs/idles fine. A car mechanic friend said if the smoking is just something that progressively gets worse over time, it could be rings or valve guides.

I'm open to any suggestions on what else it could be or I could try.

I'm downloading the owner's manual from Honda now.
