Gerald,
The device on top is the piston oiler.  It is turn on when  running the 
engine and is adjust for about 4 drops per minute.  Flipping  the lever to the side 
allows oil to drip.  Twisting the knurl area (below  the lever)clockwise 
decreases the amount of flow.
Photo #1 - The fuel is siphoned from the fuel tank.  There is  a check 
located at the bottom of the fuel line inside of the tank.  This  valve usually 
needs to be cleaned if engine has sat for a long time.  Old  fuel should be 
discarded and clean new gas used.
Photo #2 - This is a fixed jet mixer.  The device located just  below the 
rocker arm is the choke and air control (should rotate).  This  air cntrol is 
adjusted to where the engine is running the smoothest.  The  bolt located on the 
mixer with a clamp holds the fuel line to the mixer.   Removing this bolt and 
clamp, allows the fuel line to be removed from the tank  to clean the check 
valve.
Throttle Control - This lever adjusts the spring tension on the  governor.  
The inwarded position is the slow speed; whereas, the outer  position is the 
faster speed.  This device locks out the exhaust valve  actuation when the 
desired rpm is reached.  When the engine rpm decreases,  the exhaust valve is 
allowed to operate and engine speed increases.   Make sure that all governor parts 
are free and lubricated.  if the governor  is not working, the engine can over 
speed and cause damage.
Located below the insulating bar there is rectangular oiling  hole.  Oil 
should applied each time the engine is run.  This lubes the  governor and exhaust 
latching mechanism.
If you need more information, just email
