My friend told me when I accelerated really fast from a stop there was some smoke that came out of my exauhst. But it only did it the time I took off really fast. I understand that color smoke is oil burning. Is this a bad thing? or nothing to really worry about right now. It doesn't give off any smoke any other time from what I know.

Yeah, that helped a lot thanks.
However there where a few suggestions like:
If so it could mean your pvc or flame trap needs cleaning out. Its not a difficult job once you know where it is.
Where are the flame trap and pvc located so that I can clean those out if needed?
