Default My car's smoking???

Hi all.
I fired the fiesta up today so i can get the new carb i've just put on to run propley. While i was under the bonnet trying to get it to tickover propley. I noticed that the cat was smoking more than normal and when i looked it had also blown a load of black crap out the exhaust. Could this just be where the carb isnt running propley. Or air filter somthing like that??

Kind regards sam

Theres a air mixture screw on the side of it usually wind it out a turn and see if it clears a bit but ideally it needs a afr gauge on it to get it perfect
