    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I dont ever remember a bolt being in there, and I dont see any threads. Of course its hard to get under there to see it well.

Does anyone know what this is?

hole

it looks like the drain for the starter. i'll bet if you take off the cover plate for the starter you'll find oil. you'll have to remove the starter to replace it.s o ring and all should be good.
 
Ah, it's the Mystery Hole again! :-k

It leads into an empty cavity between the cases, and its function is a drain hole for the area under the starter.

As astutely noted above, the o-ring on the nose of the starter is the most likely source for leaks from the Mystery Hole, and it is easily replaced with a standard 24mm o-ring. And, of course, oil from other leaks may also make its way into the starter cavity.
