Let make sure I hear you right. You didnt want to oil going to the primary so you plugged the oil lines and now you are just running oil in the primary? Also, when you remove the EMGO from the crankcase breather hose, do you still get smoking?
Mike, yes is that a bad thing? if so i will pull the primary and put the hoses back i guess i thought that bathing the primary chain would be better
than trusting the hoses. and yes, i tried pulling the crankcase breather (even replaced it) and it still smokes i want you to know the smoke is so bad you cant even breathe while sitting on the bike i have read service manual over and over and see nothing on this problem and was hoping you could please lead me in the right direction. i pulled the cap off the oil tank and when the oil filter is removed you can see the oil coming back into the tank the bike also does not have any performance parts other than
dyna ignition and ss carb as a replacement for the original thanks so much for such a fast response
Answeri have know several riders that have blocked the lines and just run oil in the primary. The bad side is the oil is not getting cleaned by the oil filter, so it will make the clutches not last as long. Other than that it doesnt hurt anything.
As to the smoking problem. Where did you plug the lines? You have two lines to the inner primary, oil going to the inner primary and a return line. You might have plugged the lines in the wrong spot.
