14.5 B&S runs rough

yes its me again, I have just replaced my push rod, and adjusted my valves and now my motor runs great at idle
but runs rough when I apply the gas. black smoke begans to come out. My plug turns black. I have pulled the bowl off and blowed air up in it. there is one adjustment other than the idle and it dont seam to make a difference. m#287707 any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Check the choke plate in the carb to be sure it is opening all the way.
