White smoke is usually water in the fuel system from condensation. I would check the tank cap seal.
We use diesel additive here in Kansas, that reduces the white smoke during startup.
It's in a heated garage. it's not water and it's only one exhaust pipe that is smoking and pops 3 or 4 times for two minutes and blows white smoke heavy then cleans up after the two minutes. i am leaning towards a burnt exhaust valve. i got this generator back in 2012 and it said that it was remanufactured back in 2007 . It smoked the day i got it home in one pipe . it only had 8 hrs on it but it had small signs that it was not rebuilt just a paint over from green to desert storm brown. with a new hour meter
Unless you just HAVE to keep a gen set stock, a REAL water separator would be the first thing I would change on a TQG and the Second thing I would do on a DOD family gen set like a 002A-009A.

btw. where does your exhaust go? Probably not in your heated garage. The condensation occurs after the generator ran to operating temperature and is shutoff.
