I have a 1984 FJ60, desmogged following the instructions from this site (excellent by the way). I just installed a Trollhole carb, new plugs, cap, rotor and wires. I simply can't make this thing run right. The timing is dead on, decent compression (120 psi). It runs fair when I start it but the warmer it gets the worse it runs. It belches big clouds of black sooty smoke on acceleration and the idle gets very rough. I am only getting 10 inches of Hg vacuum at idle. I have tried testing with carb cleaner and ether with no result. It seems like I must have a huge vacuum leak, but I can't find it. Any ideas?
 
Black smoke is excessive fuel. Choke, float level, idle and main jets, air mix screw. Get them adjusted right.
 
Would this cause the engine to sound like it's revving louder than normal, at lower rpms?
