I would forget about the ignition and fix the carb first, If you are getting black smoke lean out the mixture. If that doesn't help, rebuild the carb. Too much fuel causes black smoke, and it also will cause cylinder wall wear from the excess fuel "washing" the oil off the walls. Then after you get that straightened out run it for a while as you normally do and them pull out the plugs right away and look at them. They should be fairly clean at the gap area and the porcelain should be a very light tan color if you have fairly new plugs.If the gap area is black or grey, go with the next highest heat plug, But remember,IH engineering did all the homework on plug heat range and brand of plug,so use what the book says to use for that engine.
