Good Afternoon all.

I have had an issue today and was wondering if you guys maybe able to shed some light on it.

Went out today and tried to start up my 180. She did not want to start, didn't sound like a flat battery, almost like she wasn't sparking.
I kept my foot to the floor and she fired up, and sounded really lumpy.
Sounded like a blockage, got her to 4.5k and it past and ran normally again.
I know its cold but the smoke that came out the back was mad, loads and loads of the stuff.
Took her for a drive and everything is fine again, stopped and she restarted again on the button.

Am i to blame the cold weather or could it be a more underlined issue?

Thanks in advance.
