Black smoke means that you are running rich. Adjust the carburation.

I can be, if allowed to continue. Eventually the excess fuel will wash the walls of your cylinders of lubrication, increasing wear and leading to early loss of compression. I'd get your carb tuned.

Black smoke = rich condition
Blue smoke = oil consumption
You're in luck it isn't blue smoke.
As mentioned, you need to check your carb setup at the very least. Have you pulled the plugs to check their condition?
