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
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
