Hmmm.  Colortune chart says this could be caused by:
1) needle shoulder not flush with piston underside (does not apply to 
adjustable needle type CD).
2) piston incorrectly fitted or sticking down 
3) flooding due to faulty float valve
4) cold start enrichment device not functioning correctly (if you have one)
5) serious needle/jet wear
