Run it on the cleanest-burning fuel with the highest detergents you can find, get some synthetic oil in it - maybe 10w30, to "rinse" the motor out - and run it under load, at speed, as much as possible. Chances are that engine is filthy, in the fuel system and inside the motor. Blow-by may just be a result of clogged up rings and will probably reduce if you clean it up inside and get it tuned up right.
