    run it on the lake and you will find it does not smoke that much…  and won’t suffocate  on it’s own fumes (helps the idle to)

    quality oil makes a difference also  so it depends…. ( ex: mercury oil always seemed better and smelled better and smoked less on my Merc 50  and 45 hp )

    I use no less than 1/25 mix   1 L of tcw3 for 25 L of fuel on these  oldies although some suggest 1/16   oil is cheaper than parts….:-)

    smoke is good…for bugs 🙂
