Hi Ray,
To the best of my knowledge, none of the large fill/drain plugs came with a hole in them. Could be someones attempt at a vent for the trans. or rear drive. I did see an original dipstick/engine fill plug once where the rod portion had loosened and fell into the engine sump - the plug of course then had an approx. 1/8" hole. Cheers,
Charlie.

Patrick,
I'm not referring to the small plug, as you described, but the larger
filler plugs. I have three. One came off the crankcase, one from the
tranny, the other from the rear drive. One has a hole, like the smaller
shift drum plug. Did that come from the tranny or rear drive? I can't
imagine it on the motor.
Thanks
Ray

Likely that is the plug on the left side of the transmission that holds
the
spring and detent for the shifter drum. That plug has a hole to act as
a
transmission breather. Mine always puked so I modified the right side
plug
to add a real breather. Stopped the oil drip.
