Well today i just noticed a blackish smoke coming from my exhaust under wide open throttle, what the heck could this be?? It almost smells like electrical stuff burning, the color is between black and grey couldnt see it real well but definetly a blackish color, what should be the 1st thing i check for? Also, when im crusin not even giving it any gas at all, my speed picks up, even up hill, is my TB sticking or something?

Well black smoke coming out of your exhaust at WOT is pretty much gonna tell you that you are running a bit on the rich side.. Do you have an adjustable fuel regulator?? and as for your TB getting stuck its possible, try cleaning it out with TB cleaner

I dont have an ajustable fuel regualtor, do i need one?? Its never done this before! Also the TB is brand new, its like 2 months old, so i dont think it needs cleaned, but what else could it be? I dont think my TB is getting stuck because it does it all the time, what can i check, its getting gas somehow. and when i sit in the gravel my rear tires spins. How else could it be accelerating without touching the gas??

Like everyone is thinking- "Rich". When is the last time you changed your plugs? The other problem sounds like your throttle cable is sticking. try to re-route it. Is it possible you took off the upper a while back and didn't run the throttle cable the same way? I've done it. Sometimes is you bind the cable that happens. Take a look and see if the cable is tangled up with any wiring or vacuum lines. Be sure to see how it makes the turn from the firewall to the throttle bracket.
