    My check ball is sticking on my S&S 124. Anybody know how to unstick it without ripping off my oil pump?
    Thanks

    According to the S&S service manual it sure is a lot of work to free a sticky ball. I did it once years ago on a h.d. pump and if I remember right, it didn't seem to be as much work as the book says. But.. You are probably right. Don't like to buy specialty tools to use one time.
    Thanks

    Yep..Big Boyz have some good Tech Articles(picture's worth a thousand words)...Was checking out their site today about a street port and 95" bore...they're really not that far from me...closer than Head Quarters....
