How to get rid of primary chain oiler?
Plug the return and vent holes in the primary cover, use the oil feed fitting on the primary as a vent. Block off the oil feed line on the pump. Run a straight hose from pump to oil tank vent to eliminate the Tee that is currently in place and do something with the oil return fitting at the case. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Can a primary chain oiler blow the seal?
Make sure you put a double sided oil seal on the engine main bearing or the variation in pressures without the breather to the primary will blow the seal. Yup. You can actually do pretty much anything you want as long as the chain gets some oil and the crankcase can breath somehow or withstand the pressure.
Is the primary chain oiler on a Buddies 76 FLH?
I am eliminating the primary chain oiling system on a buddies 76 FLH. According to the book the oil return is a gearcase breather (3/8 hose fitting). There is also a separate crankcase breather.
Where does primary oil return go on V-twin?
Do you pull this fitting out of the case and plug the hole where the primary oil return goes or just routed this line to the vent Tee to the oil tank vent instead of the primary vent hose. So here’s the plan. Plug the return and vent holes in the primary cover, use the oil feed fitting on the primary as a vent.

Why does my Panhead engine keep leaking oil?
To keep excess oil from building up in the primary, there is a drain at the bottom of the primary which allows the oil to drain out and down a tube onto the rear chain, thus lubricating it as well. This is one of the reasons old bikes seem to be constantly leaking oil, but it’s actually not a leak it’s a self oiling chain system.
