Best Answer

Dry sooty deposits (aka carbon build-up) usually indicate either a too-rich fuel mixture, or weak ignition. This can cause misfiring, hesitation, and hard starting. Check that the plugs are the correct heat range. Also check that the air filter isn't clogged. Check for engine management, fuel system, or ignition system problems.
