Cold engines smoke, fact of life. Could be a bad crank seal on your oil pump if it gets worse after sitting a few weeks.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

I don't think its anything to worry about.

On a cold start if your really pushing out smoke and lacking power for a short time I consider that normal on 2-strokes and if it get better within a time frame of 15 seconds to 30 seconds your fine..if its longer than that it may be something to start worrying about.

But mine does the same thing as do 2 stroke snowmobiles.
