Need tuning help.

Finally got this thing running, but not very well. The plugs were black with dry soot, so I put in new ones. Went for a ride and it starting running worse and worse. Very choppy idle, missing acceleration, and dies out. I thought it was the old gas from last year, so I drain it and put in fresh stuff. No change. I pulled the new plugs and they are totally black with soot. Now I'm assuming that means I'm running rich. I have an S&S330 carb. Please tell me what to do.
