5 year old wet sump
just got a 2001 twin cam that was set up the last 5 years and now there is 4 quarts of oil in the sump. BT are not my bag, last one was a 1974 fxe with manual foot.
there is a hex head plug under the cam case but i do not want to pull it so i guess the cover must come off.
short of turning it upside down what do you suggest?? (figure of speech)
it will run but with that much oil, really do not want the bump start method either.
getting toooo old for this!

Remove the plugs and with a good battery, crank it over to get the oil back up in the oil bag. Once most of it is there, put the plugs back in and start it up, then change the oil.
Or you could pull the crank sensor and drain some out from there. Best is to crank over like above though, less mess.
