Yeah, tooo much fuel to air mix equals black sooty plugs ! Too much fuel, as stated, can be caused by many individual reasons and / or a combination of reasons. Start with the easy things first, i.e.- remove the filters and see if changes or no. Make sure hot spark is present at all times. If sooty, hotter plugs may be indicated to 'help' situation. Then leaner jets , if sooty plugs persist. Any air leaks in intake gasket will mess with mixture settings. Do not get lost in the weeds...first ! Do the simple things and eliminate those first..maybe find the answer therein. Do you have an electric fuel pump (with 2x2, I assume you do?). If so, what is pressure setting pounds !

BTW...this may seem elementary, BUT make a check list and check off 'things' as you go along and like a map will keep you on track and possibly lead to solution. If you are like some of us with older/fuzzy brain cell, maybe helpful
