Instantly or after a long run..? Instant, it could be condensation in the exh. system.

If after a long run, it could be coolant that has leaked thru. The black is soot that collected along the way.

Does the water/coolant level drop..?

As far as rich....determine that by how it runs & look at the plugs..!

Plugs are tell-all... :eek: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm leary of putting "cleaners" in an un-familiar tank/fuel system. Not sure what it might loosen up in the bottom of the tank. I have a problem...whatever it "cleans" has to end up in the carb. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have only checked 2 of the plugs and they looked good.... it runs good too... It spews mostly when I first start it in the first few minutes... coolant seems to be ok ...

Thanks for the reply...
