How much oil is should there be in the gearcase ?<br />I couldn't find any other oil-screw than one on the gearcase.<br />How should I fill It??<br /><br />Thank's.

Looks to me like the plug in your 1.2 hp tiddler is the only one. You can, no doubt, drain it by removing the plug and laying the motor on its side, letting the old oil drain.<br /><br />As for how much oil, I don't know for sure. It's not much, to be sure. That motor has a bushing, instead of a bearing, on the prop end. No shifting. <br /><br />Until you can find a manual, I'd stand the motor vertically and fill it until the oil starts running out of the plug hole, then re-insert the plug (with a new o-ring). That will bring the oil level over the bottom of the bushing. Shaft rotation will carry oil to the rest of the bushing, and the gear will transport oil to the rest of the lower end.
