Default Won't Start!

I NEED HELP!

Rode my '96 Ultra to work but when I went to re-start it, all she would do is crank, sputter and cough - no start. Pulled the plugs found them wet so I dried them off, blew out the cylinders and had the same results.

Last week I installed a new cam, lifters and push rods. Rode it twice w/o any problems, now this.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Murf

Carb or EFI ?

If Carb,Id suspect float stuck or pitcock left open and flooded. On my Fatboy a couple of weeks ago had a similar issue with the S&S , I had left the pitcock open something stuck in the carb plugs wet etc.

It ended up being the adjustable push rods.
