More fuel solved my lien issues. A tune can solve them as well, so yours may be tuned to the rich side. The fine line is tuning to run right at the line between lien and rich...and that line is hard to find without a great tuner.
A Zeitronic A/F ratio meter can help in that regard. You can inform your tuner what you are seeing and can get a retune to get you close to the ideal. It will take some effort but it is worth it to keep your motor from self destructing.
