Hard starting TLE 43

[JemmaUK]

I wouldnt use NM to be honest - it seems that it might have hurt my engine - its suddenly today gotten smokey (blueish and very wispy) and the plug was completely black - but not wet black a sorta fluffyish dry black...

It *might* have been because I moved the seat down and this caught on the throttle cable and screwed the idling up - im not sure - any one got any thoughts

I have cleaned the plug off and rerun the engine for a little while and it doesnt seem to be fouling the plug again but the engine is still a little smokey

Just hope I havent wrecked it - and more to the point if I need to get rid of the rest of the fuel what on earth am I going to do with it?

Looks like engine is running cold,NM has a high heat of evaporation,cooling things down inside cylinder,seems highly questionable to me that such a low concentration could have adversely affected anything.You could mix it in with petrol in a car,diluting it further,it's only 2% to begin with I believe.
