Confusing as you say it runs fine ?!?!?!
If the exhaust is as sooty an black as you say, you are DEFF overfueling !!!
The smell is caused by the unburned fuel,
Numerous reasons for this - - so bottom line is remove carbs, strip down, clean an reset, not forgetting to inspect the manifold rubbers.
Model specific workshop manual would give all relevant info - - ie float hights an base settings for pilot air screws etc.

Had one of the first ones of those in the country long ago, good all rounder. In winter check brakes for salt corrosion and rear cush drive bearings for wear, forks could have done with progressive springs. Did 74000 miles in 3years. Think I still have most parts of the ventura back pack system in the loft somewhere.
