Default New guy here woth a question concerning a Lowrider

Hi guys/gals, I want to thank you all in advance for the help with this bike. I have a friend with a 91 Lowrider, it's been sitting unriden for 2 years. Tonight he pulls it out because he wants to sell it, figured he'd get it fired up and cleaned up. Well the issue we have is, as he cranks the bike over it's pumping oil up through the air cleaner and down the side of the bike. He said it did it before but as soon as it starts, the oil stops pumping thought the aircleaner. Any ideas on how to fix this without tearing the bike apart?? Thanks Guys

B.

What you are describing is normal if the bike has been sitting for a long time. After you fire up the scoot, and let let it run, it shouldn't do as you described. It will puke oil the first time after it has been sitting, but after that initial problem, that should stop, unless you let the scoot sit again for weeks on end without being fired up.

Respects,
Ed
