Nice first post.

&nbsp\\; You should get some really good responses.

&nbsp\\; My guess is your rings are shot.&nbsp\\; BTSOM.&nbsp\\;

RE: Oiling issues need help

Not a ton of info, but judging by your post and dates, I am guessing it is 'wet sumped'. Oil from tank has drained into crankcase. Will either blow it into air box or on the ground (if breather hose disconnected) until it gets 'dried out' (oil is pumped back to tank) Not uncommon for EVO's. This is going on your post about it sitting a year. Can wet sump faster than that, but if you haven't started it in a LONG time, this is my first guess.
