Tans oil change

Sounds as if the float is not closing all the way and allowing gas to keep flowing threw the carb and is sitting in the cylinder and passing the rings and getting into the oil. try adjusting the float level. This is a command problem.

I never pull the derby cover unless I have to fix something. I do exactly what you described and have for 20 years. Never had a problem.

Too much oil in the system now, Remove a half quart, see what happens. This is common on the Softails and Full Dressers too, when the recommended amount of oil is used. Trial and error through the years have dictated the use of either a 1/2 quart or more, less oil.

Hope this helps.

Warm the car engine.Change through all the gears and finish in N.Check the transmission oil level.If it needs trans oil,add the oil into the tube that the trans fluid dipstick is located.The gears wont work if the trans oil level is low.Probably a good idea to find the oil leak.I hope this helps

It worked fine before? It's possible you didn't get the filter installed properly, is the sealing ring in place? Or, you could have jarred some crud loose when changed the filter. Do you have any idea how much fluid you got out of the trans, I usually measure the waste oil so I know about how much to put back in. Try shifting it manually through the gears a couple times sometimes that helps. If the fluid is not running on ground, the only other place it can go, is in the radiator. Good Luck!

with engine off and key on the oil light should be on i would think all my vehicles do it..oz

Maybe this would help and get the HD factory manual also. http://www.harleydavidsonmaintenance.com/sportster-transmission-oil.html

Do a complete drain and refill it with what the book calls for.
