You could have a little oil wicking down the valve stems while it sits and fuel washing it into combustion when running .
What kind of oil are you running ? just wondering

mine did that when I went to my 686 motor.........I had the fire ring in the head gasket wrong, causing antifreeze to seap into the cylinder.......
and it was hard starting.........and when it did.........it shot out a huge puff of smoke........then it ran perfectly.......
