It's probaly just oil and grease that got on it while you were building it just burning off. It will burn off after one ride.
The engine will also smoke for a bit, but it's just Oil burning off.

It would help to know what engine you have. 2 stroke? 4 stroke? If a 2 stroke what fuel/oil ratio are you using?

^^^This.
If you're breaking in a new 2 cycle engine at 16:1, it'll most likely smoke -----from multiple places.
Good luck
2 stroke grubbee '12, almost positive I used 16:1 but it is a possibility I used 20:1. Is it bad to break in with either ratio?
16:1 is too much oil. The kit instructions are WRONG!. 24 or even 32:1 is enough oil. An oil rich mix will cause you some problems. Smoke is only one of them.
