The carburetor or ? is making the engine run rich. The forklift spews black smoke and won't idle correctly. The previous mechanic had the Carb apart about 10 times and could not get it to run lean.

I need to get this engine to run lean as it did in the past.
This is a 1978 gas engine 6 cylinder forklift.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
