    88 FLT,
    Oil bag above oil pump, after it sits all winter I disconect the breather hose from behind air cleaner and as normal it pukes a large amount of oil out of hose. If it sits for a week does the same thing.(not quite as much)Besides cleaning the ball and seat up is there another answer for the problem. The owner wants me to try fix it.

    Thanks for the link, I'll pick up a new ball and spring and that should take care of the problem.
