Oil leaks are great rust protection! Nice bike!

Old Harleys are the best Harley

“I don’t give two shits if the chrome shines or not”. Perfect! Spend time riding, not rubbing non important crap.

@@ironheadsally Yea, older Harleys like dogs used to mark their territory!

Nice Moody Blues reference. But I find it odd, you never had to trailer a bike home. After 50+ years riding nothing but ironheads and Nortons, I've had to do so a couple of times despite being on top of things with preventive maintenance. And I agree 90% of things that happen, can be fixed on side of road by having a few parts and tools with you. I finally joined the modern world and went to alternators and EI on both my wifes 80 "bagger" ironhead, and my 73 chop (both our daily rides). That eliminates almost all roadside problems. And eliminated 99% of the spare parts I carried.

A good idea is to run type F transmission fluid in your primary for two reasons.......you wil get better clutch engagement and.......since transmission fluid is red in color, you can easily tell exactly what component is leaking. Good luck with your diagnosis and repairs Sally.

@ironheadsally

3 ай бұрын

Sweet, thanks

Also to consider; on those older evos, just like the shovelheads, if the crankcase bottom breather isn't routed back up to the air cleaner and just exposed to the atmosphere, there's always going to be dampness of oil on the bottom of the motorcycle.

@ironheadsally

3 ай бұрын

Oh yeah, i routed the bottom breather to a breather catch can by my saddle bag. It wasnt spitting too much but just that white oilly stuff. I think remnants of assembly lube lol

@SaddleTrampTV

@@ironheadsally The white stuff would be condesation mixed with oil. Pretty normal.

There’s a seal up there in the primary that is known for leaking while the bike is in motion. Mine was where the starter shaft goes into the primary.

Sally, have you checked into the compression release cams? Maybe they make one for that motor. I would really look into drilling holes in your heads and install manual compression releases. I have them in one of my bikes, never a hiccup and God sent…. 130.000 miles on that bike and I just barely rebuild the starter for the first time 5000 miles ago….

Good to see you back. :)

Be a good idea to maye pull motor this wi.ter and have thatpan and bottom of cases resurfaced. If it is a repaet problem leaking in same spot, there is probably a problem with the mating surfaces. In the mean time, a nice paper gasket, no silicon or any goop out of any tube, put on completdry and tieghtened down evenly all around. That should do the trick
