Engine shutdown

Gents, i have a 91 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I was out for a ride today all was well for about 25 miles, with no warning the engine shut down and would not restart. After getting a tow home and letting it sit for a few hours, I just tried starting it. I could get it running but it needed full throttle to start and would shutdown if I let the throttle close, lots of black smoke out the exhaust as well.

I have no idea what the problem is, anyone ever have the same issue?
