Do a proper tune up including air and fuel filters but also check the coordination of the throttle linkages---these frequently get misadjusted/bent causing a rich fuel mixture (the injection pump lever is opened too much relative to the air venturi lever). Do not adjust the idle mixture on the injection pump until you know what you are doing. $$$ or personal injury. You definitely need to read up on this before proceeding. Mark
Mark,
you are correct on all counts. THis post should be probably moved, I suspect that is a moderator function. And it is a mechanical system. I will look at your suggestions,

Thanks
