1st carb on new crate engine, didn't diesel in the beginning but now after 600 miles of driving it did constantly. I have made the following adjustments. 900rpm @ 180 degrees water temp, the four corner idle screws out 1 full turn with the float bowls at the bottom of the site glass. It runs very choppy, stumbles when you nail it, smells like fuel, and sometimes diesels' sometimes not. Plugs are black. Incidentally no black smoke whatsoever and the tips of the side pipe don't appear to be covered in soot.
