Re: Any good WL/WLA/G Projects going on
Regarding the oil line installation, I found that installing the lines in this order made life easier.
1) Feed Line
2) Vent Line
3) Return Line
Also, having a 11/16 Snap-On angle wrench makes tightening easier, and a 9/16 Snap-On angle wrench for the bottom Vent Line fitting.
Cheers!

Re: Any good WL/WLA/G Projects going on
the red idiot light stayed on, so I installed a pressure gauge. It's showing zero psi??? Bleed the feed line again, no air. When I removed the pressure switch it had oil coming out of the hole. I removed the 2 screw caps and it was full of oil. I'm timed the pump gear according to the service manual. Any suggestions on what to check next?
Thanks,
Mike K

Re: Any good WL/WLA/G Projects going on
Wear in the vanes of the pump (or collapsed vane spring). Too thick of a gasket on the pump. Screw missing in the end of the pinion shaft if the threaded type. Those are just three to check...

Re: Any good WL/WLA/G Projects going on
I purchased the pump new from Flatland Motorcycle. Would the incorrect gasket cause this?

Re: Any good WL/WLA/G Projects going on
When I bled the feed line, I loosened the nut on the fitting and tightened back up at the first sign of oil. Am I not purging this correctly?

Re: Any good WL/WLA/G Projects going on
I purchased these in 2019, the only records I saved was for the tires.
COKER TIRE AMERICAN CLASSIC BIAS LOOK RADIAL WHITEWALL TIRE
560R15
257-700308
$238.00 EACH
For the rims, just take the stock full steel rim size and match it up on the Coker sight. I believe there was only 2 choices in that size and bolt pattern. Primed and chromed.
Hub caps were O.E. Style Baby Moon Cap | 10.125 Inch Back I.D.
1011
$24.00 each from Coker
Hope this helps you.

Re: Any good WL/WLA/G Projects going on
Both brand new oil pumps ( 2 brand new V-Twin pumps) were bad and made NO PRESSURE. He temporarily installed a used OEM pump and my problem went away. WTH?!
