I just got my Uly back from a visit to the dealer. The dealer is south of me and warmer. My area is about 35 F and the dealer's area was about 45 F outside and shop was 70 F. They reset the TPS and did a test run. Everything was fine. I get it home and try to start it and it fires but doesn't want to run. I had trouble getting it to start before, but it would run eventually with some babying. Now nothing. If I twist the throttle a bit it seems to try harder but no go. It blows blue smoke too. Any ideas?

Probably fouled plugs. I'll check it out and let me know how it goes.

It has probably been started and the throttle blipped to get it up to temperature.
This will foul the plugs and oil from the breather hoses will foul up everything.
Start it and go for a long ride to clear it al out of the system.

The plugs must have been fouled. I took them out and cleaned them up. While I was doing this I had my heater pointed towards the engine to warm it up. I put it together again and tried it out. It fired right up. It didn't want to stay running but eventually kept running after several tries. Seems to be all good.

Thanks for the reply Bombardier.

No worries.
