    HI Guys,
    just fixed the valve guide problems that caused my 69 ironhead sportster to smoke, started it up it runs very nicely then I noticed the breather off the generator drive casing is blowing heaps of oil. could this be the check ball valve on the oil pump stuck open and allowing oil to drain back into the crank case when sitting then being blown out at startup???

    Cheers,
    Peter
