    Black smoke!

    First post!

    Got a problem with black smoke coming out the exhaust cant seem to see it on normal driving but wen I come to a hill the car hesitates and I when I change into first a good bit of black smoke comes out the exhaust and then the cars fine, also got a strong smell of petrol when giving it a bit of stick :P

    Certainly sounds like overfueling, carb refurb kit costs about £20-30 depending on where you buy from..

    is it just a matter of getting a refurb kit and then getting the card set up?

    yes or you can buy from the rtoc shop.

    mine was slightly running a little rich untill a few hours ago

    if your not 100% sure on carbs then find someone near you perhaps a local member to help you through it

    A puff of black smoke when you plant it is fine, maybe a little rich, aslong as it stops aslmost straight away, if it keeps smoking even when your on full boost then you've got major overfueling issues
