Oil pressure test port

[Dray]

I have been trying to locate the test port but not having much luck.
Put it down to old age/poor eyes or ignorance. Would someone point
me in the right direction. Front, back, side or top.

Thanks in advance!!

Surly someone out there has wanted to put an oil pressure gauge on their scoot.
Anyone? Feel free to jump in here!!

On the 1330, it looks like there is an oil pressure test port on the front of the engine.

Not to blow you off and say search, I do know there is a topic buried here somewhere that discussed this and I offered some info similar to above. That topic involved a person wanting to install an oil pressure gauge.

There may be more info there if needed. All the best and have fun.

As a word of caution, if you are installing an oil pressure gauge or similar item, be very much aware in regards to the items installed and possible melting based on the heat and proximity to exhaust. The last thing a person would need is to install a really cool oil pressure gauge, then while riding along see it go to zero and trash the engine from a burst plastic component or hose.

Thanks for the heads up. Most of the time I wind up making the port
attachments because of the mm size and getting them adapted to
American brass threads. I learned this the hard way when I melted
a nylon tube. I was lucky and caught it before damage was done.
