THANK YOU
more than likely you have your idle set to high...if your idle is set too high,,it will diesel really bad..back the idle screw off a few turns and see if that cures your problem..also could be you choke sticking..make sure that its disengaing all the way when its supposed to.. possibly be your timing as well..might have it advanced to much but more than likely its the idle setting..
