This is usually caused by very slow combustion coupled with
misfiring, resulting in unburned fuel being discharged to the exhaust
manifold. There needs to be a source of ignition, which is provided
by the very slow combustion discharging an open flame. Check to see
if the air/fuel ratio at idle isn't too rich - just lean out the
engine under those conditions and see if it goes away. As suggested
below, there is the possibility of a retarded spark.
