Clogged air cleaner and air passages could be a problem. I have had problems with carbs that have sat for a long time with old gas in them--it seems to clog the jets. Still, you have an adjustment that might get around this problem. There should NOT be black smoke--this indicates too rich a mixture. Whether this would kill the engine, I do not know. A technique that used to be suggested way back when was to turn the main jet needle in until the motor began to slow down, then turn it out until you got the same result. Turning it back in about half way would give you a good mixture. Be sure if you try this NOT to screw the mixture needle in tight. It is probably brass, and if it is screwed in tight, you will make a "ring" in the smooth taper of the needle. After this, adjustment is very difficult. Just turn the needle in until you feel a little resistance, then start backing it out. Is your mag or ignition timing correct? Does the governor seem responsive?
