I have a Honda GX160 on a 2" flowmax transfer pump on my sprayer trailer that started blowing a little blue smoke

It kinda has a tough life. I pump a ****ton of gallons through it and the dust from the roads that is kicked up behind my semi is a lot for any filter to deal with, much less a little puke like the one that is on there. But I do keep it pretty clean and I've never taken it apart where it is super dirty.

When I first started it this spring, the gas had went bad. I had to un**** that mess. Then later on in the season I had some trouble with the compression release when I tried to start it, but dad dumped some oil in the cylinder and that must have freed it up. I don't think any of that is related, but it is showing it's age some.

Anyway, do I have any options besides pistons and rings? I changed the oil in it and that helped a slight amount, but it is still blowing blue smoke.

Is it just a matter of time until it ****s itself? I don't have time for this shit.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.
