Brokenhead: it has threads in it as if something goes there. I always like to double check.
Dave: Is that all it is then and I can plug it? That makes sense, because in my image search, I saw engines that had the linkage there instead of on the post. When I got my 235, it's linkage was on the post so that's where I'll keep it.
Since the hole was threaded, it had me concerned it was part of some adjustment linkage or something. I'll probably just plug it or smear some grease in there then.
