Here it is. Man, it would suck if this means the case is trash.

Yeah, I'm replacing all the bearings & seals.

I just checked another motor I have, same hole, same size, same place...

Just fill it in with alluminloy and sand it down.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

I just checked my running 85, and it seems to also have the same hole. It is difficult to see with the wheel and all in the way though. Anybody else have a Spree motor not attached to the bike? Can you see if you have the same hole?

Thanks,

Now that I look at it some more, it looks as if it was cast that way, Im sure you will be fine.
