Haven't had bike running since I had hip replacement two years ago . Removed carburator and cleaned out jets . Put fresh gas and new plugs and wires on bike with new battery . Tries starting and heard a gurgle and oil on the floor . Bike wouldn't start . Bike is a 1989 fxsts.

Im not an expert but a pretty good home mechanic. Check the hose from the oil tank for cracks and a secure attachment at each end. If it looks OK I would clean off any oil from engine, close gas valve, remove spark plugs, crank it over a few seconds at a time and look for signs of oil pumping out.

2010 ultra classic: with the motor running in neutral loud whirring noise from the clutch area. Put it in gear and the noise stops. Can't figure it out
