"My 4 horse wasn't started

"My 4 horse wasn't started for 14 years,I tried to start it last year. I clean the carb and replaced gas filter. It started right up,but no water was coming out of the water pump,then I replace the impeller in late Nov. didn't have time to try it again, until today, it started right up and everything was working,water pump and motor were running good. Then the smoke start to come out of the exhaust hole real light then it got heavy, I don't have an answer for this problem. I replace the lower gear housing unit with Quick Silver high performance gear lube.Can anyone help."
 
"New gas mixed at what ratio?

"New gas mixed at what ratio?

Was the motor "fogged" before it was stored?

When a 2 stroke blows lot's of smoke it's usually due to excess oil either in the gas or in the block itself, but could also indicate a very rich running carb."
