Engine Acting Up When cold

Hey

My b2000, doesnt like starting and idling when its cold.

Even with the choke, it pisses out black smoke and sounds like a rota.With out it, it just dies or doesnt start. When your driving it feels like its missing hard, and only really drives well at high revs

I was living up a mountain for a while and it was acting fine, Maybe something to do with the altitude.

Any help is appreciated

Cheers
Warren
