Oil line routing for 1980 xl 1000 with oil filter next to oil tank

The oil line routing for a 1992 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide can vary depending on the specific configuration and any modifications that have been made to the motorcycle. However, I can provide you with a general guideline for the oil line routing on this model:

1. Oil Pump to Oil Filter: There should be a hose connecting the oil pump to the oil filter. The oil pump is typically located on the bottom of the engine, while the oil filter is usually located on the front or side of the engine.
2. Oil Filter to Engine: Another hose should connect the oil filter to the engine. This hose delivers the filtered oil from the oil filter back into the engine.
3. Oil Tank to Oil Pump: The oil tank, which is usually located underneath the seat or in the saddlebags, should have a hose that connects to the oil pump. This hose allows the oil to be drawn from the oil tank into the oil pump for circulation.
4. Breather Lines: There may also be breather lines connected to the engine and oil tank. These lines help to release excess pressure and prevent oil leaks.

It is important to consult the motorcycle's service manual or seek assistance from a qualified mechanic to ensure the correct routing of oil lines for your specific model. The service manual will provide detailed diagrams and instructions specific to your motorcycle's year and model, ensuring proper oil flow and system functionality.
Additionally, be sure to check for any specific oil line routing guidelines or modifications from aftermarket parts or accessories that may have been installed on your motorcycle.

in 1980 it is pretty much forward from fuel tank to fuel pump from fuel pump to carburetor ....the return line from pump to tank

hope it helps

Bottom of oil tank to right/outside feed on pump. Inside is return line to top of tank where filter cap is. If you ran a cooler than run this line to the cooler and back to the tank. Above the pump is the large vent line. It goes to a tee fitting and than to the top of the tank and to the back/bottom of the primary. The small line goes to the back /center of the primary. It\'s the chain oiler.

Is there a fix for bar oil running out of the saw all the time until the tank is empty?


there is bad oil line repalce it.

Is this the correct routing for the fuel line? Starting at the filter in the tank,will the line go to the bottom of the carb.? Then the line goes out at the top of the carb. to the primer\'s suction side? Then out of the primer to the fuel tank? This route the primer pulls gas through the carb. Does it make any difference which hole in the tank the lines go to?

YES that correct

An oil line routing diagram is in the factory service manual. Screw the oil filter off, remove your spark plugs, and spin the engine. If oil pumps out of hose going to the oil filter, you pump is working fine. If you do not have any oil pressure, your tappets will rattle badly. You'll know it.

Shoot WD40 into each cylinder to get them wet.
Change gearbox oil and oil filter. Use 10w40 motor oil in the gear box. Don't use any synthetic oils, oil marked "EC", or oil with "special" additives. Stick with the major brands; Pennzoil, Quaker State, Mobil or Shell. How bad is the rust inside the gas tank? I would consider a liquid tank liner if rusted.

• Lube chain or get a new chain (if needed)
• Lube Throttle, clutch and front brake cables
• Lube Speedometer cable
• Grease the swingarm, axle and steering stem bearings.
• Install a new battery
• Clean, and balance the carbs. This will be the problem area. They will likely be gummed up pretty good. Be sure to install an in-line fuel filter before starting the bike.
