hey tunnie, just out of curiousity, were you able to resolve your problem cuz it seems im facing the same problem here. hot or cold, starts lumpy with some black smoke for a couple of seconds. after car is clear.
The garage guy replaced my injectors, problem disappeared for 2 days and now its back.

Did he replace with new injectors or clean them?

IME the best solution to injector problems is to send them away to be properly cleaned in an ultrasonic bath. It could also be that you've got some other contamination in the system that's caused the problem to re-occur. I would change the fuel filter and give it a flush through with some fuel system cleaner.

I have been flooring it, then foot off and then crank. Did nothing.

Will try tomorrow: foot to floor, crank while foot is still down.

Its been fine at starting generally until this warmer weather, as TheBoy can comment, the Senator started FIRST time after been left still for 5 weeks. (did not touch the gas pedal!!)

Foot to floor, crank for 2 secs, stop cranking, foot off pedal, then start normally.

I'll try that tomorrow  

Stuart -  Omega projects were thin on the ground when I was looking. I had to get one around xmas so i could tinker on it at weekends to get it ready.

As it goes, only just had enough time to get it ready. Senny was £300 with 2 new rear tyres, new exhaust and 12 months MOT, so could not complain at that!

Its almost ready, will post pics of it before i go  

Sure you wouldnt like a veccyB dualfuel that doesnt start for a project Tunnie.....cheap to you  

Well actually......   - I'd love to get stuck into another project and make a little money for my trip. Not sure whats going on in June yet (uni wise)

There is a chance I will have the whole of June off!   - If I do, might take you up on that offer

Its still there, not as bad now. As advice from DTM (which i forgot  ) and TheBoy.....

I crank the engine for 2/3 seconds with my foot flat to the floor.

Stop

Then start normally, it just..... just! starts. It splutters but then smooths out. Can't see any smoke from the exhaust, need to get a friend to watch!
