A lil more explicit with details, please.
Did you just get some bad gas? That would be lucky. Does it smoke only at start up? Good chance that would be valve guides. Does it smmoke all the time? Good chance that would be rings. Lets hope you just got a lil bad gas, lil brother.
grrrrrrrrrr@ typos and having to edit.

Before I went too far trouble shooting, I'd eliminate the breather hoses that run to the air filter backing plate as the cause. Make sure there are no obstructions from the rocker boxes to the backing plate. Clean all the hoses and, if equipped, check valves by removing them and cleaning them with aerosol carb cleaner ...
