Hot list
Got some good help here on the dry clutch/pri oil issue, appreciate that.
So, I,m helping a friend route his oil lines and realized (knew it) that the pri oil line is plugged off. Why was there apri oiler on a dry clutch? I ask myself. Look into VIN #s and find that my 81 FXS has a motor from a 79 FXS80. WA LEO won't help unless they get their hands on it. Anybody know who can tell if a motor is hot or not? How to proceed if I can't find out? Thanks, Pat

RE: Hot list
First, since 1965 all four speeds have had a dry clutch ( except for a few 83-85 models) the oiler is for the primary chain, one mod. that was done was to block off the oil lines to the inner primary and add a few oz. of auto transmission fluid to lube the primary chain.
Second, Call your DMV or highway police and have them run the engine numbers, they will tell you pretty quick if it's hot and pretty slow if it's not.
