There is a mixture screw in the bottom of the carb for the idle mixture, has this started to come loose enriching the mixture at idle until it comes out unburnt?
Perhaps just undo the bottom of the carb and check the float and jets are seated correctly?
Check those plugs - are they black?
just a few thoughts...
If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of Duck tape then you're in trouble

I would also check to make sure that your chock is all the way in too.
