Hi there! I bought a 46 Knuck a few months ago that has been "built" with S&S wflywheels and S&S jugs to bring it up to an 88" motor. It has an S&S super E, Mallory electronic ign., Leinewebercam (don't know which one), primary belt drive and Rivera clutch. I am running 70 wt oil and the oil presure is about 35-40 when I first start it. After riding for 20 min or so it drops to under 5 at idle and only go up to about 10psi when I kick up the RPM's. Is this normal? Have the old H-D service books,shope dope, what fits what, etc. and can't find any info on what should be normal operating specs. I have been riding since 1970 but it was an XLCH back then. Always was a fan of the knuck and could finally afford one. I also have an 03 softail that has a 95" big bore kit puttin out 95 Hp and 95TQ for the long distance rides but NOTHING beats the WOW factor of the Knuck. Can wrench most of my stuff it just hard to find guys who know about the old stuff and have good information. Just to make it clear the bike was built about 5 years ago and has about 4500 miles on it now by the speedo. I was told by the previous owner the motor was checked out by a guy named Jack Larson in Belton Missouri? As I am in the Chicago Il area any help is greatly appreciated and I will go any reasonalbe distance for help. Thanks in advance Bob
