I am getting carb or black powder build up real quick which causes me to loose power. I took the screen cover off to blow the exhaust out better. I have changed the oil. Any idea why I’m getting a build up so quick? The Weak Call It Obsession, The STONG Call it DEDICATION!!! Thanks, FullDraw55

The spark plug should tell you a lot. It should be light gray and not sooty black. Too light gray or more white and she's running too lean. Wet black or greasy and she's burning oil.
