Won't Start

Like the title says. It will crank over and hit couple times and puff black smoke and thats all. Happened on one other occasion but eventually started and ran fine. It started yesterday just fine then I pulled in garage to work on hub and it wouldn't start back. Keep in mind it is about 20 degrees here and it possibly could be water in gas I guess. Could it possibly be the ignition switch? The guages seem to act a little abnormal when I turn the key to start and the Brake light goes on and off as the key is turned.

i would pour alittle gas down carb and see if it starts if not check and see if it is getting fire.

That's a good tip, one always needs to differenciate between whether it is a fuel or spark issue.
