daniel, i believe this might really be a big part of the problem (if 
everything else is running fine). your engine never got up to good 
operating temperature to allow for some "internal cleanup". carbon 
deposits (which might explain black smoke) *will* build up if an engine 
is never allowed to heat up properly.

i once owned a 1961 bug that had one of the sweetest-running engines in 
it i had ever known. it was adjusted to a tee - but since i only ever 
got to run it and play with it once a year or so (car was in germany, i 
am here) it *always* blew noticeable black smoke when i ran it.
