Default starting trouble

hey all
im having some starting trouble with my 09 rocker c
it has a screaming eagle heavy breather v & h br 2 into 2 and a super pro tuner
sometimes it will just wind over and not fire always on a hot start,it is winding plenty fast enough but sounds like it will never start
other times (not that often)it will backfire and blow smoke out of the a/c
i have talked to the dealer and he has not had this prob before
i will take it in but he is 4 hours ride away so that will have to wait till im ready
just rode 2800 kms in 5 days and one of the days it did it every time next day started fine
once its running it runs great ,just wondering if anyones had this before and if you think it can do any damage
thanks in advance

Check the fuel pressure as well as the CKP signal....

Yes just like shovelhead stated. Something else to look for; if you smell gas, after the engine is off for about one minute, you may have a leak at the seal between your your fuel rail and fuel tube. There is a rubber o-ring seal their.
