"Hi Grant, Black smoke is over

"Hi Grant, Black smoke is over fueling. This may be caused by a too large prop, check the size & dia. Remove and clean the exhause elbow and check for blockage and pin holes. Adjust the vales to .oo8 both cold. Make sure fuel filters are changed. Check and make sure your stop cable is fully in the off position."
 
"Oh check out your alternatoe

"Oh check out your alternatoe and make sure it is ok. I have seen it short out and bog down (short)a small 1GM, and cause black smoke. Yo can remove the v-belt and take it for a run."
