Default No Oil PSI
I have a 97 Softtail. I layed it down about 2 weeks ago. I finished putting it back together last night, started it and the oil light was on. Disconnected the senser, light goes out. Hooked up a PSI gauge and no oil PSI. I layed it down on the left side, damaging mostly cosmetics. I did put a Derby Cover on it(scratched). Looking for ideas of were to start with out tearing the whole thing down,and by the way it has oil in it.

Found the oil pump keyways and drive shaft were the problem. All is good. Time for a ride.
