You might get about a million replies to this. I've never heard of pouring oil down a carby, fuel or start ya bastard yes but not oil, kind of strange to me. My 3k started no problems when i first got it, pump the accelerator a few times before starting, crank apply choke and give it some revs, that's all i did when i first got it. after a rebuild though it's crank and pump the accelerator slightly and apply some choke, mostly in cold weather.
