Default Rough Starting

Hello all, I'm hoping some of you can help me out with this! Up until yesterday(30July2022) my bike, a 2001 E-Glide Ultra Classic (FLHTCUI) has been running great. But starting yesterday, when I go to start it...cold-starts only mind you...it only wants to run on 1 cylinder and smokes(white) a lot. I have to hold the throttle open a bit for it to stay running at all, and only for about 10 seconds, and then the other cylinder kicks in and it goes back to running great again. Any ideas out there as to what might cause this to happen? And again, it only happens on cold starts. If I stop somewhere and shut it off, it starts back up just fine. Also, I did notice that the CEL came on during this, but it went back off after the motor smoothed out and ran fine again. I'm open to any and all help offered!!! Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!!!

Change the plugs and check the coil with an ohm meter.

Or water. But a lack of fuel sounds likely.
