    ok black spark plugs could be down to stop starting it ... unburnt fuel or oil ...

    but as your just starting it in the garage and not driving it would say its just down to that ...

    Me too. When a car is running from cold, the fuel mixture is much richer; hence more soot is produced in the combustion chambers. This burns off when the engine is up to full temperature and running properly - but if you are only starting it in the garage, it is on idle all the time and the soot won't get burned away.

    I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:
