this would be the place to start:
IDI Tuneup

your blue smoke is caused by burning oil though.

Well I'm not losing oil it just really started smoking i have plenty of power. and after its warm it'll fire up easy for the rest of the day. if i give it a quarter to half throttle it'll start quicker_ it starts running rough when its warmed up if i shut her down for 3 mins fire it up it doesn't always run rough but when it does i notice smoke righ before it runs rough
