JLG 40HA engine problem

My JLG 40HA has the VSG Ford gas engine. When i start it, it idles just fine. My problem is when i put any sort of load on it, it sounds like it's choking itself out. In fact when it comes out of its sputter it blows black smoke which to me is un-burnt fuel. If anyone knows how i can adjust the carburetor or what i need to do to correct this I'd appreciate it!
