the 4th pic looks like a centrifugal clutch.

Hi J - I'm assuming you mean it operates like this:

Just as a repeat, all one big sump, should just be 30 weight motor oil. Three yellow plugs all lead to the same spot. And it's also a centrifugal clutch.

The top fwd plug is engine oil. Does not connect with the bottom two plugs fore & aft - they're for the clutch on this engine.

Clutch is a separate unit like said. If you really want to see I'll pull one of those engines apart next time I'm home. But all three yellow plugs are the same exact thing, and the clutch is EXTERNAL and doesn't require oil like that.

Hi & Thanks - My point is that two lower plugs for & aft fill separately from higher engine oil port. (10w30 or 30w recommended) Wet clutch unit is similar to this one : https://www.carrollstream.com/Noram...m_source=googlebase&utm_medium=shoppingengine

Big Q for me is how I can reduce speed on this thing without buying a new lower HP engine or a gear reduction unit(?) ...apparently limiting accelerator pedal with a bolt is bad for the clutch unit. This is my current gear ratio:

i reccomend getting a engine you know stuff about, we have all told you mutiple times that its one big oil tank nothing for a tranny nothing for a clutch all engine

I'm not clear - why is lower "sump" not affected when I filled engine oil into upper plug? I filled that lower sump via lower plug separately...

you need to add more in the top with the most visible bottom plug out until the bottom one has oil just about to spill out and thats right on the money
