Dennis, obviously, the engine is running too rich.  Why?  I would put that question to GoWesty.

Then 2 minutes later started it and "bang" it backfired, it did start. Shut it down and tried again same thing. Drove home it didn't occur again. Any thoughts of what is going on? The new  Engine has about 5000 miles on it. Maybe to many mice running around in there.
