What does it means that a fine black powder builds up fast on my plugs and
what should I do ? Thanks in advance

If it's a carburettor model then it could be the choke not releasing after the
warm-up period, or a very dirty air filter, or a blocked small bore rubber pipe
at the carburettor. Or you only use it for 1 mile journeys and there's nothing
wrong with it that a 30 mile blast wouldn't sort out.

A light black powder or soot buildup on the plugs is carbon fouling. It
means you need what used to be called a tune up.

heavy black powdery build up on the plugs mean in is running rich (excessive
fuel mixture)
could be any number of things causing it.
