Restart oil tank to get heat working - Heating & Cooling

You need to know the tank's capacity to figure out how much oil is still in your Vulcan oil heater. The tank's capacity is typically shown on the manufacturer's label, or it can be discovered by getting in touch with the manufacturer or a qualified expert.
Using the measuring stick, you may make an educated guess as to how much oil is still in the tank once you are aware of its capacity. You can calculate that the tank is around one sixteenth full if the stick indicates that it is one eighth full and the tank is halfway between the bottom of the stick and the one quarter mark.
To prevent sudden oil runs out, it's crucial to periodically monitor the oil level in your tank. To make sure that you always have a sufficient supply of oil for your heating needs, you might also want to think about setting up automated oil delivery or scheduling regular oil deliveries.

First,mop up the unspent oil in the combustion chamber from any previous relight tries. Now, make sure the cad cell lense is clear. Did you change your oil filter and nozzle? These become easily clogged by the sludge at the bottom of your tank when you run out of oil.

Probably warped the cylinder head or at the very least the cylinder head gasket is totally gone. Get a compression check, look to see if there is oil in your coolant tank or white gunge in your oil filler cap these are both signs of failure due to overheating.

Those motors have a sensor on the oil pump drive gear that senses the oil pump drive shaft spinning. That sensor could be going out giving a false code. You can take off the oil line exit on the pump and crank the motor up for no more than a minute to check for oil flow. It won't be much at all....a dribble is all you can expect on idle. The most common problem is the oil tank on the motor itself or the sensor probe in the tank. The float can fall off giving a false signal as well. Make sure the cap and hoses are tight on the remote oil tank as the motor pressurizes the tank to push oil to the motor reservoir.

Yes there is a check valve but it's in the oil pump. This is a problem with the pre-2000 Softails. The oil tank is mounted higher in the frame than the oil pump on the engine. When the bike is allowed to sit for an extended period of time, the oil seeps past the check valve ball in the oil pump and settles in the engine cases. We call this "oil sumping". When the engine is restarted, the oil pump scavenger gears simply cannot pump the excess oil back to the oil tank fast enough and it is blown out of the crankcase vent tube. Since the EPA requires that vented crankcase pressure be cycled through the engine to be burned, the crankcase vent tube is connected to the backside of the carburetor backing plate. There are baffles in the tube but they only work for oil mist. The results is that your air filter gets filled with oil when you restart the engine after a lenghty downtime. Most riders will disconnect the tube from the backside of the backing plate and plug the hole in the backing plate. Then they install a simple hose about six inches long or so to the nipple that comes out of the engine cases and run it back towards the rear of bike underneath it. Some guys will put a small crankcase breather on the end of the hose as well. This way, the oil will go on the ground and you can clean it up. I usually slide a shallow pan under the bike before restarting one that has sat for a while. Avoid "topping off the oil tank" before restarting a bike that has sat for a while. Check the oil level and as long as the oil is visible on the dipstick, restart the engine and check the oil level when the engine reaches operating temperature. Harley improved on this problem in 1993 when they went to the "head breathers" where the crankcase vents are located in the cylinder heads.

Good Luck

Unplug it and restart it. Did you check your oil tank level? Are you out?

An impulse line from the crankcase pressurizes the oil tank to force oil to the chain. On the bottom of this line in the oil tank is duck (one way) valve. I think it has failed (open) and you are sucking bar oil into the crankcase. Loosen the oil cap before putting her to bed to help stop the bar oil from weeping. Key word Help. LOL HTH
