What to do when oil pressure drops on a dolt?
Dolt has you covered above. As suggested, polish the plunger and clean the bore so that it (the plunger) slides easily in the port with no binding. While you are in there, pull the plate and check out the pump. Make sure to use new orings when reassembling and ensure the pump is aligned.
How much horsepower does a Harley Davidson Electra Glide have?
In this version sold from year 1999, the dry weight is and it is equipped with a V2, four-stroke motor. The engine produces a maximum peak output power of 60.00 HP (43.8 kW) @ 4900 RPM and a maximum torque of 95.00 Nm (9.7 kgf-m or 70.1 ft.lbs) @ 3000 RPM.
What causes oil pressure to drop on a Harley Davidson?
Too much clearance between the gerotors on the feed side of the pump or too much clearance between the face of the cam plate and feed gerotor will cause erratic oil pressure as described by the OP. A partial blockage in the feed line to the cam case could also cause the erratic oil pressure but two sources listed above are the usual suspects.
Why does my oil pressure drop when I cruise?
A partial blockage in the feed line to the cam case could also cause the erratic oil pressure but two sources listed above are the usual suspects. Oil pressure should read 40-50psi on start up but drop to 8-12 when warmed up and rise to about 32-34psi at cruise and stay there.

What should oil pressure be at 70 mph?
70 mph is cruising speed on most roads in Texas. The psi is about 28 at that speed after about 30 min on the road. The manual says that the pressure is supposed to be 32 psi with oil temp @ 230 deg. f. @2000 rpm (55 mph).
What should oil pressure be at start up?
Oil pressure should read 40-50psi on start up but drop to 8-12 when warmed up and rise to about 32-34psi at cruise and stay there. Anything else indicates a fault in the system which could be a faulty gauge or sending unit but the OP has addressed those already. 70 mph is cruising speed on most roads in Texas.
What should the oil pressure be on a Harley Davidson?
The psi is about 28 at that speed after about 30 min on the road. The manual says that the pressure is supposed to be 32 psi with oil temp @ 230 deg. f. @2000 rpm (55 mph). I don’t know what the temp. of the oil is, but there is a time when the pressures will meet those specifications, which is about 20 min. on the road starting from cold.
When does the oil pressure drop in a car?
The problem is when the motor temp hits 160 degrees the oil pressure begins to drop from 40 pounds all the way to 15/20 pounds. The engine temp is fine and everything else seems ok, just the oil pressure.
What should oil pressure be when engine gets warm?
Immediately the oil pressure went up to 45 psi. When it reached 160 it never dropped below 38 psi and has been steady since then. I told my son to keep an eye on it and if it drops down again, change the oil by repeating what we had just done. Its cheaper to do a 25 dollar oil change than it is to swap out a block.
What should oil pressure be on a Twin Cam 88?
Once it is warmed up and under load it shows 20 psi. and it has gone to 5-10 psi and come back up again. At idle it shows 0 psi. Is this something I should be worried about or is it normal for a Twin Cam 88. If you could shed any light on this matter I would greatly appreciate it. Those oil pressure numbers are typical for your m/c.
