Default Fuel Issue

I got a 99 Wide Glide with the 88 Twin Cam and was gonna go for a ride. It took some extra cranking and throttle to fire, and would only run 10 seconds or so before it coughed and started pouring fuel out the intake. It also smoked really bad out the exhaust. I turned the fuel off in case it was flooded and that didn't seem to help. Any idea what the issue could be and what to do?
