0 oil pressure, please help
Hello,
I have a 74 inch shovelhead and have no oil pressure. I accidentally over filled my oil, however, I did not ride anywhere. My bike now (after removing excess oil) has no oil pressure. I have tested my gauge w/ compressed air and it works. I have also removed my oil filter. I have removed all lines going to and from the oil pump and see no oil coming or going. The pump gears turn. I also have very limited flow of oil coming out of the tank. Not sure what is normal, but it seems very little. I have removed, cleaned and blown out the oil tank and feed line to the pump. I have removed and inspected the check valve, tappet screen and the bypass plunger. I have also opened the oil line on the rear rocker box and no oil or air pumps out. Any ideas? I have fooled around with this trying various things with no success. If any one has experienced this or has an idea of how I proceed I would be very grateful.
Thank you, Spencer
