Hi, I have a 1981 FXS lowrider - shovelhead. Just bought it in the winter. It has sat in my garage covered, until now. it leaked oil in a big puddle while sitting, and it dumped out oil when starting. I refilled the gear box with 75/90. (pretty sure this is normal for spring, but im new to Harleys) has stopped leaking oil now.... Sometimes it has trouble starting, not a burp.... then other times, fires right up right away. It ran good but started dieing and back fireing when giving it high throttle. Idles great, rev's great on kick stand. After I sit on it upright now, it will die after about 10-15 seconds before i can ride it. I have seen info about the ignition switch....
thanx
