Default Vacuum line and oil discharge

I have a 1985 FLT

WhenI turn the engine over after it has sat for any length of time (just a couple of days) it will pump oil out through the crank case breather. I understand this is common and is probably addressed somewhere in the forum, but I am not finding anything through searching.

Also, I am switching the carb from the original to a CV (1990 Harley stock), any experience anyone has that you want to pass along is appreciated.

Much thanks - Ryan
