Greg, regarding the main jet adjustment, caution is advised.  The book says 
to turn it all the way in, and then back it out a number of turns.  (don't 
remember without the book)
My packing needed replacement because of a gas smell.  I had to make my own 
cork packing for the jet because I couldn't find any.  No big problem,  get 
some cork gasket material and do it.  However, after this it is hard to tell 
when the needle bottoms because of the new resistance, and gas tight, seal.   
I think perhaps the black smudge on your hull is, like mine, just a result of 
the exhaust placement.  I've heard, or read of an exhaust extension being put 
in, but I personally don't that dragging it he watter when I'm on port tack.  
Carfull of getting it too lean, because that burns exhaust valves, and I 'd 
rather try to clean the hull rthan do a valve job on the engine.  unless you 
are fouling plugs, don't go the hotter plug routine, cause that can cause 
other problems with steady running.
