New battery for the Chief today, bit of problem waking the old boy up but slung some fuel straight down its throat and bingo, fired up straight away and runs luverly 

But

Carb is black with soot, blacker than a very black thing - and unless my limited mechanics brain is more limited than I realised, I dont think that is right, so any ideas?

Cheers gents

Overfuelling like a MOFO.

Has the carb been overhauled??

[isle of man]

Like BD would know???

check the plugs for colour, if they are black too the lean up the mix, worth a run through with carb cleaner too

[Bulldog67]

carb was rebuilt, and then went to a tuners as recommended by RodsnSods 

so where do I find carb cleaner? or do you mean like a washer type thing (my bro has one)

Use the type that don't need spanners
Either a spray or fuel additive would be a good start
