Not familiar with your model, but the symptoms (hard cold start and lots of
black smoke - running too rich) suggest you might have a flooded engine,
possibly from a leaking injector. You might be able to see if this is the
case by checking fuel line pressure in the AM after sitting all night. I'd
also look at the obvious stuff as well: spark plugs, ignition wires, air
filter, throttle body, and injectors.

Good luck.
