The larger round screw in the picture that i think you are refering too is the “oil filler screw” for the reduction gearbox (the screw with the flat slot in it which also has a fibre sealing washer underneath it).Its not a “dipstick” as the gearbox has another screw at the bottom which is the oil level screw (you can see this is the same picture).Just below this “oil level screw” is the “oil drain screw”.
This reduction gearbox obviously needs a quantity of oil in it so remove the “oil level screw ” and oil should just seep out…..if not simply top it up.The oil in this gearbox is totally seperate from the engine (which is a 2 stroke engine) and oil should therefore be mixed in with the petrol.I use a 25/1 ratio which is 40ml oil to 1L petrol.Hope this helps.Any pics and dimensions of my missing red cover would be greatly appreciated.Thankyou.

Good find, looks in good order. What make of engine.

[vhgmcbuddy]

hi gareth. looks like the car next to your Subaru needs a wee bit of attention also,i think it needs a LOT of welding on that or is it a written off vehicle ?

[vhgmcbuddy]

I’ve been studying those photos again and I can see the missing cap in the last but one photo. Is that also a dip-stick?
