blue smoke is oil burning.

If you have a 2-stroke, oil burning is normal operation and essential to proper lubrication

If you have a 4-stroke, they arent supposed to smoke and if it is, you have bad piston rings or worn valve guides/seals, or you're sucking oil through your breather tube. Could also be an over-oiled air filter.

yes it is a 4 stroke so it is not normal. maybe the guy i got it from might have had a bad mix of gas.
