I bet once warmed up that engine needs NO fuel from the carb!

The engine only needed to last how many miles? Not many. Not enough for lube problems to show up.

I didn't get to see the whole video- did they start it? That would reveal if it's still a 4 cyl.
Then the MPG could be accurate, but they're not counting the MPQ, the Miles (of engine oil) Per Quart, right?!?!?!?

That's actually a "neat cheat". Sometimes I admire clever deviousness (or is that devious cleverness?!?!?).
