Motorcycle Repair: 73 shovle, chain oiler, crankcase breather hose

Question
QUESTION: I am trying to get a 73 shovel head in running order. I am having issues with the oil lines. And trying to find a complete starter housing unit. My issue with the oil lines is I cant seem to locate were my crankcase breather hose connects to the crank case? Or were the front chain oiler line goes into the primary housing these were not hooked up when i got the bike. Is there a way I can rout these without taking the bike all apart?  I have a clymer repair manual.


ANSWER: The breather line on the motor is on the cam side at rear of the motor behind the oil pump and should be routed to a filtered breather element probably under the bike, you should be able to get to the breather fitting with out to much trouble. The primary chain oiler is located on the back side of the inner primary about inline with the engines oil pump area. You may have a sealed primary thats why the primary oiler is not hooked up but the fitting would still act as a vent, just a short hose hanging down backside of the inner primary off of that fitting.

QUESTION: SO IF THE PRIMARY OILER IS NOT HOOKED UP WOULD IT LEAK OIL?

ANSWER: IN A SEALED PRIMARY THE OILER ACTS AS A VENT SO NATURALLY A MIST PROBABLY WOULD BE EMITTED.

QUESTION: Sorry to bother you again. The filtered breather unit just pisses out oil when I try to kick it over, so far I am unable to kick the bike over and with every kick it gurgles and spits out oil from the mesh like filter under the bike. I am wondering if this line would be the oil line back to the oil tank?  

Answer
If the bike has been riden for any length of time and then stored for awhile it is normal for the breather unit to spit or actually flow oil out for a little while after the motor is running again, this allows the excess oil that has collected in the motor over the time that the bike was stored the get out.This excess oil in the crankcase is due to oil slipping past your oil pumps check valve when the motor is off. Just put a pan under the bike and start it up to pump the excess out.
