Default Code 43 fuel problem?

Hello i need some help... i bought a 95 civic coupe a few weeks ago.

it doesnt pass smog because its running extremely rich, i think the error code is code 43, somethings wrong with the fuel system. A bit of black smoke continously comes out of the exhaust.

How could i fix this?

Thanks for your help!!!

black smoke usually is unburnt fuel, did you check your timing and spark plugs/wires?

how old is your o2 sensor? try replacing that too. i heard that bad fuel filter and o2 sensor also triggers the code 43. reset the ecu after replacing it.
