yeah running it without anything to filter is VERY VERY BAD and will cause your problems with being to rich.

I live in the south and it's very dry and dusty where we ride so on all of my machines I also run a ladies stocking over the foam. Just helps trap what's small.

never heard of no filter causing it to run rich? But it is very cheap insurance as is keeping the lid on the box. Unless you are going to drag race it, I'd leave the box intact

Yeah man, you always want to run a filter. The last 3 trikes I've bought have not had one either! Since yours does not have a filter, the carb definitely will need cleaned. I soak my carbs in carb/fuel injection cleaner for 3 days, then clean them. Make sure you run something fine through those tiny holes in the jets, then blow them out with compressed air or with an aeorsol can of carb/choke cleaner. Take your time when cleaning the carb and do it right - and do it over a clean hard surface in case you drop something. Also, a small $3.00 fuel filter is cheap insurance to guard against dirt entering your carb through the fuel syastem, even with a plastic tank. Get an air filter on it asap, then clean your carb. I'll bet it runs/idles right after that and you'll lose the black smoke without making any jetting changes. I had this exact issue with my 350x when I bought it. Put filters on it, cleaned the carb. Now it runs like a raped ape. Good luck and let us know.
