How does the total loss oiling system work? Does the oil flow from the tank to the oil pump, from the pump into the connecting rod bearing (as in my sportster) or does it get pumped into the crank case for splash lubrication? From the crank case does the oil get blown into the cam gear case on the piston down stroke then leak out onto the ground? What about the primary chain case and rear chain? How does the hand oil pump tie into the system, does it pump oil into the auto oil pump discharge port to supplement auto pump feed into the engine? And for the long distance riders out there, how much oil is consumed per tank full of gasoline?
I'll be looking for a VL to restore in the near future and this info would help greatly. Thanks in advance.
