White Smoke. Should I Worry?

[Guest]

Poured a little Marvel Mystery Oil down all four cylinders of the T and tried moving the wheel a little in second, but it wouldn't really budge. Tried all the gears and it got easier as I got higher, but not much.

Took her out and started her. She started right up, but would bog a little under throttle, and there was a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust, more the right than the left. It went away after a little bit, but that was scary. She runs like normal now, complete with the tendency to die when coming down off of high revs every once in a while.

that would be the oil burning off, nothing to worry about unless it doesnt stop.

That's what I figured, but I just wanted to check.

Should I have waited a while before starting her up? I didn't harm anything, right?

Waiting would have only DELAYED the smoke, not PREVENTED it. Unless you waited several months or so.
