Check your charging system regulating voltage. Connect a voltmeter between ground and one of the terminals of the fuse box that is "live" while the engine is running. If the voltage you measure there is much below 14 V with the engine revved up a bit, then you need to replace the voltage regulator (under the back seat.) Low system voltage makes the D-Jetronix run rich. While this is a very common problem, it may not be YOUR problem.
