Looking for oil line diagram for 1975 harley shovel head fx thanks

Contact me directly at [email protected] and I'll send you a drawing of the oil lines. Don't forget to remind me of what you need.

Not difficult at all. Just drain the oil and probably remove the exhaust pipes as they are probably in the way. Then take all the bolts out from around the kicker cover and remove the end cover. Leave the kicker installed so that you can get it back right when you put it back on. Make sure that you've got enough tension on the return spring when reinstalling. Don't forget to add the oil. 20-24 ounces.

Now, if you're going to attempt to replace the "clutch gear", you may need a special puller to get it off the shaft with. It's on a taper and sometimes they're a bear to get off even with the correct puller.

Good Luck,
Steve

Shovel head lifters tend to wear out. Check your adjustment first. Shovels also run on the warm side. Does it idle good? If not, check for intake leaks.

do a compression test. if all cylinders are the same you have a head issue. If not the same then its the cylinders.

i have a 1983 sporty service manual that has everything in it from basic spark plug changing to overhauling the entire bike wiring diagrams oil diagrams etc... a very helpful book indead can be purchased from almost any harley dealer or online
