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
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that the pain from the knee issue along with the medication has made you more than a little cranky. I know when I'm feeling bad, I can come across as an A-hole too.

Apologize to everyone on here. Not an expert on posting threads, I will work on that for sure. Yes I have been called an A-hole before.
