Ideas Invited- smoke only upon startup

My BJ8 runs well under all conditions.  It has about 2500 miles on a 
professional rebuild of the engine and carbs.

I notice that if the car is parked for more than 5-10 minutes, upon 
restarting, there is a small ball of smoke that comes briefly from the 
tailpipes.

Addressing this phenomenon solo, I haven't been able to be at the 
tailpipe at startup to smell the exhaust for oil or gas fumes.  Any 
suggestions or thoughts as to diagnostics or corrections?

Thanks in advance.
