96 FXDWG 100000 klms
My dyna has been sitting for the last 3 years because it doesn't run rite any more.....for you guys that want to read..allow me to give you the history on this bike
I am the original owner.
It has stage one done to it thats all.. and i raised the bars.
Three years ago it started to misfire and backfire severely out of the top muffler...i mean there was orange flame.
I decide to get $10 dollar maintenance manual off internet...that was probably a mistake...I have now ordered a real harley maintenance manual for 96 FXDWG..that was 3 weeks ago and I still dont have it.
I decide to drain the tank..take tank off..and lower the rear engine mount so as take off the rear head assembly.
I decide to give it a new ring job and have the heads redone at a harley shop and i re-install every thing...I also had a look at valve lifters...they look brand new.
I also get new harley battery, spark plugs, plug wires and a new coil..all stock stuff straight from harley.
It will start but misses on rear cylinder on initial start up and then clears up...but here is what it does.
It appears to run with choke fully on for several minutes ..fair amount of black smoke..but as i slowly push choke in it runs but gradually seems to choke itself....and then there is blue smoke coming out that top muffler after engine has warmed up significantly.
Would anyone with lots of EVO engine experience have any ideas as to what i may have done wrong.....thanks...my name is Arend

I similar symptoms on my 97 flht. The culprit was a leaking intake gasket (quite common), I have also has the carb to intake donut gasket go bad that will also cause hard missing.
