Default need help oil problem
Need some help, bought a 2000 sportster over the winter, couldnt ride it but heard it run. I have started it several times to keep the battery charged. Today when it ran it stopped and would not start again, the oil light was on the display, I checked the tank to see if it was low and it was overflowing! I'm thinking oil isn't returning to the engine? any ideas on what might be causing this?
