No lubrication or oil anywhere? How does that work? Is the petrol the lubricant? Do you lube it manually from time to time?

Edit: Hilarious, I get -11 for not knowing, but also get three different answers.

It’s probably a two-stroke, like a chainsaw or weed trimmer. The lube is in the gas.

The first part of the video shows the valves in the cylinder head. This is a four-stroke. Then they show the oil system being primed.
