With all the experienced Rider's on here, I really think someone would have addressed my rpm problem in my prior posted better than it was handled. bagga u were bond and determined it had a broken valve spring. Wrong.
Had operation on knee and been laid up for quite awhile. Finally got to look at 85 Electra Glide yesterday and found problem. It has an Crane Single fire race ignition on it and the rev limiter adjustment has a scorched area on it. Thats the problem on the rpm's. The oil gurgling went away. Checking today into getting a new one or another brand for it. WAS not impressed with the Advices I got on here about the RPM problem.
I know I didn't post it as a rpm problem, but it was also a (major part of my problems) in my post. Might should of made new post for rpm problem
It could be that the OP (you) seemed to link the RPM problem to the oil problem. I wonder whos inadequate description caused the confusion?
Changed oil and filter after it acted up. No difference with new oil, filter,and plugs. 4,000rpm max. Lot of things this could be. No problems until crank up this year. 10,000 miles on topend. New rings, valves, valve guides, springs and retainers, lifters new also.
Right here you should have stated bike is no longer puking oil. Now problem is motor will not rev over 4000k.
Then people would have asked what type of ignition??
