Backfireing
Back last fall i my 1997 Harley Fatboy completly down to the frame And restored it completly back. The only part of the engine i got into was new rocker box gaskets and pushrod o-rings. Well i thought i finished getting the bike back together a few days ago and would be riding but NO. When i tried to start all it does is backfire im getting good spark and gas. i noticed a mist of gas comming out of carb and backfires out of tailpipe i even put new plugs.. Could i have done something when i was into rocker boxes??? I payed attention what pushrod came from were.. LORDy someone help lol this is killing me .

On twinkies the pushrods are different lenghts between intake and exhaust. Reversing them would cause a problem.

That may be true but he has a 1997 FB... Don't think this will apply to His EVO unless they are diff lenghts also.

I missed that he said what he has... plus he's in the softail section which makes me think twinkies... so thanks for the additional disclaimer.
