The temperature is 39 degrees today.  I tried starting the Midget and it would 
not fire at all.  The battery is strong.

What exactly happens in the cold?

So I checked the plugs.  Three were perfect in color and gap.  Number two was 
black and wet, not from today as it never fired.  I cleaned it up and the car 
started on the first pull.  I checked that plug again after the engine was warm 
and it was dry but sooty.  There is no missing or any other sign of firing 
problems.

How can one plug be rich without missing?
