Default PRIMARY OIL

I have a 1978 FLH Electra Glide. A friend of mine talked me into removing the oil lines from the tank to the primary, so the primary oil wouldn't circulate through the motor oil. Now there is a bunch of pressure in the primary, coming from who knows where, so now I can't keep the primary cover sealed good enough to keep it from leaking. How to fix it?

Sorry, not familiar with that engine, before my time, but try to PM Pococj or if you have real problems try Heavy Duty.

I ran an open belt on my 79 rigid so Im no help either. It sounds as if you may still have a line hooked up to the primary if your building pressure. I dont know why you couldnt just vent it somehow but then again, you shouldnt have to really.
