If you get tired of the oil puddles and want to eliminate the chain oiler on so equipped pre-1974 models, remove the front sprocket to reveal the oil supply hole in the countershaft. I push about a 1/4" length of tight fitting o-ring material in to completely stop the oil from coming out then reassemble as normal. I saw the post with Joker Machine's plug kit, but am reluctant to "tap" anything into a threaded hole. If you want to remove the adjuster plug, why not use an automotive oil plug to replace it. The thread is 14mm x 1.25mm pitch, this is a common size that could be picked up at nearly any auto parts store and looks a lot more proffesional than a broken off spark plug as I've read some people use.
