If it runs better with the spark jumping the gap, it sounds like too much fuel. The extra gap allows the voltage to build up to a higher value before the plug fires. Are you really sure its timed right?
Though the black smoke is definitly too much fuel. Check the float.
Good luck!

Pat: 88 manual says timing is 5 degrees before TDC. Try it. May help. Tom.

Check the needle and seat. Replace them. Check the float for actually floating. Check the float level. Check that the choke cable actually opens the choke. Check that the air filter is clean and then remove the bird's nest from the intake stack. Set the timing with a timing light.
