Run the generator under load for a least an hour every month. Generators get really gummed up just sitting.
Does the blue smoke continue after the generator warms up or primarily on startup? Here is some information from Perkins on blue smoke https://www.perkins.com/en_GB/resources/...smoke.html
Overfilling the oil can cause blue smoke. 10 quarts seems a lot for a generator. My Yanmar/Kohler 12.5kw genset doesn't hold that much. About 6 quarts as I recall with a filter change.
