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, through that vent/oil hose. Why is it doing that? and what do I need to do to fix it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just had the same issue on my 1991 FLSTC
Shovelhead Bob said it might be
Head breathers are puking it out......
Others thought maybe to much oil in my tank.

Sounds like the check ball is stuck .If is sits for a "long time" .it will do this .The check ball is the big " screw looking plug" just behind the tappet valve screen which looks the same.on the right side of the motor.You will see these close to the oil pressure switch.
