Running rich..yes..mine...classic B&S 2.5 hp Clean. New spark plug. new diaphragm. This has increased progressively. I remove air cleaner...block choke open with clothes pin. Same....it runs OK no load..but as soon as throttle opens, it begins sputtering black smoke. Have removed, cleaned, "adjusted" carb several times to no joy.... All above recommendations executed to no avail. Will report findings...
