The answer to that is obvious,,, No, I have not done that. Didn't know about that part. Do not have a op guide, and didn't find that info searching the net... Thanks, will be trying that in the morning....

Rivets, I found the secret, like you advised ! The plastic piece, with the stopper, came right off,1/4 turn.... & Oil had dripped out overnight. Been messing with small engines for 50 yrs, never ran across this type. Sure do not like oil running out on the frame, before one can get a 'catcher' under it.
Most of the mowers with the quarter twist and pull drains on the engine came with a clear tube about a foot long to attach to the end of the drain. everybody looses the tube, and the drain will come loose from the engine and leak. The all just seem to unscrew themselves from then engine. Been a few lost engines due to totally coming loose or the pull part breaks and falls off while running.

I can see that happening. BTW , it looks like the little plastic piece has a valve in it. oil wouldn't gush out with the cap pulled.
Do you know what that is about ?
