Saxonette

[torres1016]

I noticed another screw under the saxonette engine (not the transmission oil nut) what is this for?

Is there any saxonette expert out there that can help.

Is that the engine oil nut?

I have the owners manual for the 5.30 engine which I have also posted on the site but I have never seen the owners manual for the 2.40 engine unfortunately.

It could be , not sure because of it being a 2 stroker, not sure.

Biodude, does the sachs 5.30 engine use regular motor oil, even though its a 2 stroker?

Having taken apart quite a few of these engines in the past, I can tell you that it is just another oil drain plug for the transmission fluid. The fluid actually lubricates two chambers. One chamber is on the right side of the engine where the 2 speed transmission is located. This is where you check the oil level with the bike on flat/level ground. When the engine is running, some of the fluid is transferred through holes between the chambers so that the internal gear shafts that turn the sprocket are lubricated. The nut you are inquiring about is simply a drain plug to get the remaining oil of that chamber. Hope this helps. Bill

Duh! Apparently I'm empty headed tonight. No, no engine oil in there!

Too many Rupps lately.
