Sudden oil and smoke from exhaust both cylinders

[2005 Chopper]

That is a good point. I've been doing my own work on my own bike for better than 30 years. I've built a couple over the years. I'm not a professional mechanic but there's not much I can't do and haven't done. Whoever worked on her before I got her didn't have a clue. Rocker boxes were leaking when I got it. Went to pull them off to reseal them and five of the eight Main 5/16 bolts were stripped out. Five of the six bolts holding the sprocket to the clutch basket backed out and then the fifth one snapped. Lot of dumb shit. I've about got a pretty reliable now

That’s how I feel too. Ask how I learned…….haha. Seems like I too often do a repair twice….first time my way and second correctly. This is why HD mechanics tend to screw up BD’s and how we learn to keep ‘em on the road—-using our manuals and torque wrenches. And of course this Forum. All else fails call Eric, Mr. Wright or Knothead.

So if anybody's still following this here's how it went. I drained the oil out of the tank. I went against most the recommendations and pulled the plug on the bottom of the cases. And I am glad I did. There was 2 quarts of oil in the cases! I am not exaggerating. I put a 2 quart food container underneath it and it filled it I thought it was going to run over. Don't know what the big deal about the bottom plug is. The one in mine is not pipe thread it's machine thread and has a flat face and a o-ring. But then these cases are not original. I'm pretty sure she started out as an 04 107-in. The title I got is an 05 assembled motorcycle. Not big dog . Cases left the S&S Factory in '06 with 3 1/8 in bore. Didn't even rejet the carb. I had to work that out. But I digress. I pulled the check ball and spring out of the oil pump as well as a slider tube and spring out of the tall tower. Blew the oil out of that it all looked good. I pulled the oil filter pulled the plugs turned her over a bunch quite a bit more oil out ran a good half quart the new oil through it. Put it all back together top the oil off fired her up took a minute to blow everything out. Put a new set of plugs in her and everything was all right again. Lesson learned always pay attention to how much oil comes out and how much you put back in thanks to all for all your thoughts and advice. Ride her hard!

Lesson learned applies to your banking account too.......
