Hi Eric:
Confessions of the weekend mechanic! I did something similar a very long time ago. I rebuilt the engine on my Cushman Eagle when I was about 15 years old. I reassembled everything and, in my hurry to see if the engine would run, I started it up – before I added any oil to the crankcase! It started and ran for a few seconds before I realized what I had done! I shut it down, added oil to the crankcase, started it up again and ran it for about 10 years with no problems. Just lucky, I guess.
from sunny South Dakota,
Paul
