Try to screw the needle in some and see if it will go to WOT and then adjust it to get the best setting. Factory setting is just a starting point.

Couldn't hurt to try.
I'll try that. I assumed the black smoke was from when it cut out it was loading up on fuel, but now that you mention it I may have seen some fuel spitting out of carb. I'm just always paranoid about going too lean.
