mixture is too rich, is this carb. or injection? Have it checked.
Some of this discoloration is normal - caused by carbon monoxide.
It usually means too much fuel or not enough spark.
If it's the inside of the exhaust that's black it could be caused by burnt oil in the engine.
Excess fuel causes black smoke.
bad rings or really bad valve seals.
Catalytic converters clog due to the carbon that the car produces. Usually, when the carbon has built up inside the cat., black smoke will come out of the tailpipe when you rev the engine. In extreme cases, black soot is visible on the ground next to the vehicle's tailpipe. Crystal Woll
Black smoke indicates excessive fuel possibly the engine is flooding this would also explain the gurgling.
the engine is burning oil. blue smoke oil white smoke antifreeze black smoke excess fuel
black is excess fuel
how can i get black exhaust smoke stuck on my dual exhaust
Usually a black tail pipe is an indication of an engine running rich ( air/fuel mixture) caused by a bad oxygen sensor causing inproper fuel mixture, or caused by a restricted intake (dirty airfilter, carbon build up ect.) Most vehilcles will have some blackening of the tailpipe. If its excessive (smoking) have a mechanic look at it.
Need to know why this is necessary.
carbon result of incomplete combustion.
