91' Heritage Softail Spitting Oil
I have a 91' Heritage Softail that was running fine, but now when I go to start it, oil gushes out of the air cleaner area via the vent/oil tube located there. Why is it doing this and how do I fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: 91' Heritage Softail Spitting Oil
If it is doing it as you start it up, then you're getting oil draining into your crankcases when the bike is sitting. I think the late Evos still have the ball-check valve in the oil pump that is s'posed to keep the oil in the tank, but I'm not positive about that. Check your service manual.
