I agree with the residual oil point you make, But cubs will not self prime without help. Several have been ruined from lack of prime. I worked on a Subaru that was driven 10 miles at 75mph with the oil plug gone (a quick change station had not but finger tightened it) When it dumped the oil on I25 north of Denver, it produced what the owner clamed was whiteout conditions for 3 miles. Itran into the shop in Ft. Collins with all the lifters collapsed, and sounding like 75 or so 1/2" steel balls in a five gallon (steel) bucket. I put a new plug in the bottom, Primed the oil system with about five squirt cans of oil till it had pressure in the galley, and started it up. In fifteen seconds the ratteling stopped and the engine was quiet. We put a calibrated gauge on it and it was spec at 40 PSI Idle. We serviced that car for the nexxt two years without any issues, and (I believe it did not suffer) Kendall GT 10-40 oil was put in it at the quick change, and that is what we put back in it. JimN
