I know on import carburators the floats are pretty much the only thing that go bad, they'll become saturated with gas and flood the motor.
So since I can't diagnose it, lets shotgun some parts. Replace the float, it's cheap. Then put new plugs in it since yours are fouled out.
Good luck.
Thanks for the reply.
I have recently replaced it with a new carby kit and set the float height. However, I always wondered if I got the height measurement right. I may take your advice and remove the top of the carby and recheck the float height. It sounds logical that this could be the problem as the exhaust is very sooty and the plugs are also sooty.
