Hi there,sounds very much like either your choke is stuck on or your float in your carb is stuck due either to there being dirt sticking the needle open or your float has become stuck? Your plugs should be a light brown or tan colour if it is running properly,black indicates that it is getting far to much fuel, First check your choke then try tapping the float bowl with the ignition on to see if that stops your fuel pump clicking,if not you will need to remove the carb and strip and clean it!
