black smoke from exhaust

[spin/trip]

I got some water on my engine, and afterwards it wouldn't idle. I managed to get it to run again, by tightening the servo vacuum pipe where it goes into the manifold. It idles ok now, but there is black smoke coming from the exhaust. Any ideas?? Thanks

I wouldnt have thought getting water on the engine would cause black smoke in anyway .

Choke stuck on or pull the air filter out see if it clears black smoke will be over fuelling ;)

What engine is it? If you've a carburettor you may have water in it, whip out your plugs and give them a clean off and try running it again.
