185s carb trouble

[79fordblake]

My 81 185s is smoking from getting to much fuel and fouling the plug. The needle is set on the second position from top and pilot screw turned out two turns. I moved the needle to the first notch and left pilot screw alone and now it runs to lean and dont run right. What else should I try to do to it?

Well I put the needle back on the second notch and screwed the pilot screw all the way in then backed it out 4 turns. Plug looks alot better now. Its a brown/grayish color. Before it was solid black.

Initial Pilot screw setting is 2 full turns out.

I mess with the carb some more today. Runs way to rich on 2 turns. I got it out to five or six turns and still a little rich. Needle is set on second notch if I move it to top notch runs to lean. I guess it needs a good cleaning or a new carb.
