1994 FLHTC White smoke. HELP!!!

My 1994 FLHTC emits white smoke from the muffler. S&S Super E shorty Carb. Smoke goes a foot or 2 and then disappears. Only smokes at idle and is pretty consistent. Doesn't smoke with it choked but after I take the choke off it starts to barely smoke. After I ride it a while and it's heated up the smoke is more noticeable at idle. Couple things: the guy I bought it from had the air filter very oiled to the point where I'm sure some of the motor oil went in the carb. Fluids are about due for a change. Runs just fine. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much confused.

Warm it up and then do a compression test on it to eliminate any internal issues. How many miles?

There is 31,000 miles. I'll do a compression test but is there anything else I can try in the meantime. Thanks a lot for the help.
