Default Continuous mis-fire on 1985 softail FXST

Hey gang. Looking for some tech help and advice...I have a 1985 softail FXST which has developed a continuous mis-fire. Initially I suspected a partially clogged fuel filter, but it checks out fine. Any ideas, other than to take it to the local Harley garage ? It has a new motor, but all electronics are original...

Thanks,

WDPPSY in Luxembourg
