I think you are on the right track.
If the plug is black, and not tan, it would indicate a richer than optimum overall mixture. Also check that the air filter is clean and the intake is clear. Temporarily running without the air filter would lean the mixture, and may tell you if it will run better if tuned leaner.
Sometimes finding parts for the Chinese engines (carbs) can be challenging, but usually they are a direct copy of one of the more popular brands. Jetting takes some trial and error to get right, but I would expect better number than you are getting so something isn't right.
