Probably worn , been in for 30 odd years .Yeah you will only be leaking if something is split, worn, or incorrectly placed - or someone has tried to cheapskate with ''non-Harley fitment'' o-ring
As I understand it they are Fit and Forget so long as there are no leaks. There is no adjustment, once fitted.I'm a bit confused. Are pushrod check and adjustment part of routine maintenance?
How come some say not moved in literally decades?
Ron, how do you reset a Solid Lifter? Are you talking about Adjustable Pushrods which can sometime loosen and change their length? I am intrigued to know.The solid lifters need regular checking. Its the same as with all the old Triumphs, Norton's, BSA's etc and the harder you rev them the more frequently they will need checking/resetting.
