Default rebuilt it and now running rich

Hello,

Just rebuilt my s1, got it started but it runs lumpy and has loads of black smoke coming out the back? Was ok I think till it warmed up. Any ideas? Have already tried running it with cold start valve unplugged. But I THINK the cold start only opens when on ig 3 if I am right, so that won't make a difference anyway

I had this on my Focus the other night and it was a lead defective. Plugs were on their way out too.

I have all the plugs on the correct sensors as the are colour coded. Might try sticking a new set of spark plugs in it and turning the metering head down a tad. Is it clockwise to turn the fuel down?
