So I got my sled out and I'm having some issues. Black drops of oil are all over the engine. The oil light is blinking and the tach keeps dropping to zero. Any ideas?
 

Were Is The Oil Coming From The Oil Tank Line?leaking Power Valve?oil Pump ?and You May Have A Wire Rubed Through.
 
Most of the oil is pooling up on top of the center cylinder power valve. Just a gasket? I also noticed my oil light, it flashes 3 times and then just blinks off and on. I wonder if the oil switch light is crossed with the water temp light. The tach is a mystery to me. It now just sits at 0 unless I rev it, then it seems climbs, when it drops back down its gradual until it hits 1000rpm, then it just drops to 0.
 
the oil issue is bad powervalve o-rings and seals in it, thats a easy fix to do.

Lets investigate the tach issue:

does the tach do the same thing when you turn the headlight from low beam to high beam?

Does it keep a steady rpm off idle if you hold the throttle at say 3000 rpm, or does the needle flutter?
