Default Oil pressure gauge kit question
Just picked up a HD oil pressure gauge kit, the one that mounts to the rocker cover. Question. Is it normal to have a large air bubble floating around in the liquid filled, gauge face?

I was going to install it today, but if it's not right, I'm going to have to hold off and return it for exchange. It being Sunday, HD isn't open today otherwise I would call and ask them. Thanks!

Well I don't know if it's right or not but everyone of them I've seen has an air bubble.

Yes, the air bubble is normal. All liquid gauges will have some type of air bubble.
