I don't know...black smoke is bad news..why don't you let me take it off your hands for say $600 or so...I wouldn't want you to have to worry about the carb problems.

Just kidding...some people have all the luck.

I think the procedure is to get it up to operating temp. Then screw in the needle that adjusts the main jet until RPMs pick up and then begin to fall off. Back it out to where the RPMs pick up again and than add 1/2 turn to make sure you are not running too lean. That should take care of the plack smoke.

If not, the needle valve may need to be replaced. If it were mine, I'd go ahead and spring for the Carb kit and rebuild it...you are so far ahead already I think you could afford the extra $$$s.

Good find!! BB
