I have a 113 super stock S&S engine on a custom bike.  It has been a
good engine, but has suddenly started pumping oil out of the crankcase
breather. I don't mean a little normal, it is running out.  Whats up
any Ideas??

For sure while sitting, and today I pulled the filter and turned the
motor over and ended up with a big puddle on the floor.  I actually
don't know if it is pumping while riding or if just the build up is
running out.

    Ok, don't have time to swap posts all day so.........  What I
meant was, does the bike drip oil *all* the time, or just when started
after sitting for a few days.  If it's all the time you have problems.
If it's just after setting a few days the check ball in your oil pump
is letting some oil drain into the bottom end, & it gets pumped out
through the breather when you first start up.  Usually you won't have
a problem if you ride it every day or two.  The problem is called
"sumping" & is fixed by cleaning the check ball & re-seating it.
    If you pulled the filter off & started the bike you have to
expect oil on the floor, & yes that means your pump is working.
