Are you referring to the spring located in the bottom pickup port of the cam plate?

It's not just your Harley with low OP at warm idle.
They are all this way.
It's a low pressure lubricating system.
However, it can be increased.
A "roll pin" is what holds the spring in its little hole.
Either use a "roll pin punch" or something similar to push the roll pin out.
You don't have to totally remove it.
Careful while doing this as there's a couple other parts behind the spring.
DON'T replace with a new stock spring.
You'll get the same results.
Order yourself a Baisley spring.

These really do work.
I run them in my bike and have installed in a few others.
Ask your buddies if they're interested in getting one, too.
Split the shipping with them.

The Baisley package will have complete directions included.
