Smoke begins immediately? or does it take a little bit to start smoking after it starts?
Could be your breather filter (it's a nylon mesh pad much like a brillo pad that is built into the breather) is not all there (highly likely!) - it would allow oil to build up in your breather tube and drain back that way - Did you check the breather drain-back holes before putting it back together? (2 small holes in the bottom of the breather right near the gasket surface, would line up with notches in an OEM gasket, and point down when installed)
One thing you could try to eliminate that is - when you go to shut it down and let it settle overnight, unhook the breather tube from the air intake, and leave it set loose - you can probably block off the hole in the air intake (to keep out any dirt) with some black tape wrapped around things.. then start it up and see if she smokes - if not then you will also most likely find oil dripping out the breather tube - Only way to replace the breather mesh filter is with a new breather. but the drain holes can be checked and cleared
