ok i thought i had a spark problem with this motor till today.But when i was working on it today it loads up so bad and turns my grass black.it acts like the old dirtbikes did when u fired them up,u had to hold it wide open and clean it out,,well thats how this is acting but worse.What can i do for this since the high speed jet isnt adjustable,,should i lean on mixture or drop down on jets if available

Is it loading up at an idle? Low speed jets adjusted properly? Oil mixture correct? Float levels in carbs correct? Ign system in good shape? Thermostat working correctly? Good compression? Might be time to overhaul the carbs.
