It's MOT time and i'm saure it';s gonna fail on emissions.

It's burning fuel alot and im getting crap consumption. When the car starts or if i boot it after cruising for a short while or drop it down a gear e.t.c i get a whisp of black smoke brielfy

I parked the car infront of my mums n just gave it some stick (3000 RPM) for a bit, then i looked on the front of my mums car and the bumper had a fair amount of Black liquid over it. It might be oil which could be Stem seals ? but it's not burning through oil, i think it's just prehaps black smoke mixed with water in the exhaust ?

Does this sound like Over Fueling or do i have a more serious problem at hand ?

The carb is blocked n it's running a bit shite so it's booked in to have the carb tuned n cleaned before friday ( as well as a Split CV boot)

Someone else said i need to check my Fuel pump ?

The car shudders n jerks at low revs in every gear indicating carb problems ?

the Car is a 1.2 Carb mk2

cheers

sounds like the carb needs setting up and if it makes no difference it could be knackered mate!
