Oil line on 85 FLT problem
I bought the bike with a damaged front end. It was delivered on a skid , it started fine, oil pressure came up. Replaced the air ride front end, came time to take it off the skid. It had boards shimmed up underneath it so to get it off the skid I had to tap the boards out. Got the front wheel on the ground and them noticed that the hose that runs next to the oil pump (from the crankcase, then goes over the engine, between the barrels and down under the engine and the inner primary cover) was off and oil was coming out. Now I know someone will say go to the manual diagrams. I have three diagrams. One shows me that it is a square oil tank, but this one is a V shape under the side cover. Another diagram shows it's a dead line and should be plugged. Another says it is a return, but my issue is that all the diagrams eliminate the oil filter.. So if anyone has this bike and can check the routing of this oil line please let me know where it goes.. I don't have a table or jacks to lift this bike high enough to check under it better.
