Shipping is probably a big cost each way?

Update!

I decided to buy a new S&S motor. I'm a little disappointed in my decision, but ultimately I think it was the best way to have a bike again that I could rely on. I just bought this bike from a family friend and want to keep it forever, so the investment isn't about "can I get my money back"

I am keeping this original motor though and going to do a teardown this winter to investigate and learn/build some confidence.

Question:

I bought this brand new motor, and I want to make sure I don't get any metal in it from what my oil pump could have thrown through the system. Do I need to flush out this oil tank somehow? Should I just replace the hoses or just pull them off and flush them good with some water and dawn?

I would replace hoses and definitely flush tank. I would also use quality hose.

Don't use Soap or water.....Flush with Kerosene or diesel, Maybe 5 or 6 1/2 " nuts.....(for a little scrubbing action.)

You can wash it out with any kind of detergent that you want just make sure you rinse it with either a carburetor cleaner or brake clean and then blow it out with some compressed air...
