Puff of black smoke when engine started..

["jimmydunn" <jimmydunn@mindspring.com>]

Hello,

       What does a puff of black smoke out of the exhaust
pipe on starting the engine indicate for an MGTD.  The car
does not smoke when running. Is this normal for an MG or
does it indicate an engine problem.

  Thanks for any help.
