You influence the engine is fairly new, but be tampered with.

This tamper may have caused wrong to the engine. You don't say exactly how the engine was tamper, so I can only guess. You also don't mention any excessive oil consumption.

Black smoke could be from grease. Could be damaged piston rings. Do a compression test. A cylinder(s) near less compression than the average of the rest could mean dilapidated piston rings or damaged cylinder walls.

The tampering could own damaged the valve seal. With bad valve seal, the smoke would be very bad when the engine is run, then turned off for several minutes, afterwards restarted. While the engine is off, oil leak past the valve seal and collects in the combustion chamber. It is burned off when the engine is restarted.

This engine have a carburetor, and not fuel injection, so it is not a bad fuel injector nozzle.

But it could be a problem with the carburetor

The choke may not be first.
A fuel metering rod could be sticking.
A fuel float bowl may have a bad spout seat allowing too much fuel in the float bowl.
It sounds resembling one of 2 things. like the other person said Check the VALVES and second your head/manifold gaskets conceivably misaligned or blown. Black smoke is to much gas or unburned fuel. It wouldnt be your carb but could be your AIR system and egr valve.

Answers:    Need to adjust the carb. At the base of the throttle plate [facing the front of the engine] are two mixture screw. One for each side. Plug a tach into the TACH side of the distributor. Turn the LH mixture screw until you maintain the great idle. Then move to the RH & repeat the procedure.
