I think you are going to want to pull of the carbs and pop off the float bowls. You need to check what you got for jets in there.
Now, do you have the F model or the K model? They had different jets in them.
Black plugs would indicate too much fuel but it could also be a weak spark not firing things right.
You should check that while you are at it.
Actually, just to make sure you have a good baseline, you should run through the standard tune up procedures.
