Hard starting 330

My IH 330 sputters and barely runs when first started. Any amount of choke or throttle advance will kill it. It evens out and runs much smoother after idling for a few minutes, but then will cough and belch black smoke the first time I try to rev up the throttle or place it under a load. After that it usually runs fine the rest of the day. Recently had a mechanic work on it (adjusted valves, timed) and it started right off when I first got it back. Any ideas what could have changed in such a short time? All ideas welcome.

Sure sounds like to much gas. Here is a quick check. Next time you are ready to shut it down turn off the gas and let it run until it stops on it's own. Be sure to shut off the switch after it has stoped. Then the next time turn on the gas just before you are ready to start it. If it starts right, then you are flooding and the carb is your problem.

Black smoke is to much gas....If the carb hasen't been rebuilt,I would do that....Check the float setting and check and make sure the float doesen't have a pin hole in it..(shake the float ,to hear gas sloshing inside)Your problem has to do with, gas mixture,I'd say..... .

Could be a number of things. Carburetor is one likely cause. Check all bolts/screws that hold the carburetor together and onto the manifold. Could be the choke shaft or throttle shaft is worn letting too much air in. Dave.
