Swapped out primary&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;oil when I change stator, rotor and extension shaft on my '90 today, put 2 quarts in my engine&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; allso, drained primary to check compensator nut and I have a lot more oil than I started w/and low on engine oil. Were would the likely place be that it would be entering primary ?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Thanks
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Were are these stupid little slanty lines and dots comming from ?

 

Seal from engine to primary on compensator shaft. Crankcase pressures force oil into primary. Replace seal.

What slanty lines? Oh yeah, those things. That's normal here. Really, though, forum is possessed with gremlins. They're "working on it," and have been for two months.

 

Is it a big pain in the *** to swap out once you get the stator out of the way ?&nbsp\\; Thanks

which rotor and stator did you put in? Did you change the spacer and seal or did you leave the originals in? It doesn't take much to damage them sometimes. The metal pieces that were worn off of the original parts could have damaged the seal also. Hope this helps.

 

MY 88 FLTC had that issue , that year it was a factory problem , there were a bunch that were recalled ...

 

new spacer,stator, rotor, left OLD seal in, will have to go back and replace now, much of a job ?

 

Did you reinstall the clamp that holds the stator wiring?&nbsp\\; Those holes go all the way through.

 

Was no clamp,'08 Evo clone, just (4) screws holding stator down, ran stator plug end threw&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;access front of engime to plug in.

Am going to run bike w/primary cover off to see if I can see oil comming from behind roto, sound feasable ?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbs p\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\ \\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\ ;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Thanks

Do I need to pull engine, split cases to replace seal ?

 

Put bike on kick stand, started engine, lot of oil comming from behind rotor, a little history on this bike- bought it in Jan., built last summer,'90 FLT frame, 127 Ultima, have had issues from first ride, last week was going to shim compensator spocket to find all splines on rotor gone,round smooth hole,ext shaft bad, stator bad. minimal shaft damage, got new parts, put back together, went on 100 mile ride, 2quarts tranfered from engine to primary, threw crank seal I believe, your thoughts.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Thanks
