I have just noticed a hole in the carter, and I do not know if it is by design. THere is no thread on the hole, so I guess there is no screw lost ??  |

That's supposed to be there. It's an overflow drain for the gearbox. If the gear oil level is too high, it will come out of there.

Some have a tube(older models), some have a white plastic 'elbow', and some have the hole drilled straight down towards the ground. If you look at the insides, there is a path that goes from the hole up and back, with several zig-zags so there's not a straight path in or out. That allows the lube to expand, the air in the gearcase to expand, without forcing lube out when it gets hot after a good long run. Same kind of vent it built into the CVT case, though not as complex.
