Motorcycle Repair: 1992 Harley Fatboy, crank case breather, harley fatboy


Question
I haven't cranked my motorcycle in about a year, of course the battery was dead, and I charged the battery and I drained the gas out of the carburator. Here's the problem, I cranked it and after serval attempts it cranks up, runs for a bout a minute and I notice Oil draining from the oil air filter, small hose for air, what does this mean? thanks for your help.

Answer
it is a sump for the crank case. Remove the hose and hold it in to a empty can or bottle and run the bike untill all the oil stop coming out from the crank case breather hose. I would NOT reinstall it back to the air cleaner, I would tie it to the bottom of the frame so when I started it I could let it sump into a can. after you ride it more offen and run the bike more it will quit sumping.  Johnny
