1991 FLSTC Crankcase to air cleaner pukes oil
I have a 1991 FLSTC with a S&S carb. I routed the crankcase breather hose from the air cleaner to a crankcase breather filter. Oil will come out of the crankcase whenever the bike sits for a period of time without running (2-3 Weeks). It is usually a small about of oil but is a pain in the *** to clean up. I seemed to always have this problem. Is there something in the oil return or crankcase breathing system that is not working properly?

Pretty common if you let the bike sit...though 2-3 weeks sounds like a short period to have much "puking" out. The check ball in the oil pump is the culprit and if you google it you will find dozens of backyard fixes...some will do more damage than good if done wrong. They make a breather that has an oil collector that you can drain at your leisure...but they are proud of it. The simplest solution is to ride the bike more.
