have you checked your spark n grounds? slickerthanyou had an issue that sounds similar. his ended up being his stator...worth a look...
Its a Uni Filter, I do have the lid off, I tried with it on too and it dont change a dang thing.
id really try another jet. 270 man, and check your float level. sounds like its either starvin or choking...what doe the plug look like now?
I see no mention of you doing a leak down test.
You may consider doing one to see if the is an air leak somewhere.

I havnt read the other 2 pages so I don't know what you have and have not checked yet but I had a very similar problem before. Sometimes wouldn't start up on the first kick, weird sounding idle, bogged down and sometimes stalled when given throttle, and would die when I would try to ride it in gear. It turned out one of my reed petals ( vf3's ) came loose and dropped down out of place. Finally after hours of doin this and that I took my reed cage out and found the reed petal sittin on the intake bridge, thank god it didn't make it into my cylinder. I would check your reeds ASAP if you havnt already before you cylinder eats a reed petal and spits debree down into your crank !
You said you did a comoPression test what about a leak down test to checks for Air leaks. You could have an air leak somewhere.
Idk about that Black plug though. Sounds Rich. Did you ever check your carb float level? Needle sticking? Leaking by?

If it gets worse with the lid off, then the mix is too lean!
Leak down test, to make sure it is air tight.
It is not so unusual for a plug to be black, especially if it has not got to operating temp.
The black crap looks like the remains of a poor quality foam filter that has broken up and still resides within the intake duct.

I did not get a chance to get a leak down tester yet. I was thinking of making my own. The float looks fine I didnt measure it, the needle isnt sticking nor fuel leaking by. and honestly it dont seem to get worse with the filter lid off, just seems the same just is louder with it off. I still have yet to flip the reeds thats for tomorrow morning.
Either you have a gas theif in the neighbourhood, or a leaky carb.
How is the float level?
What was the result... I have the exact issue and have done the TORs delete with no improvement.
