    Robert,

    That small plastic bottle is for the rotary valve lube and it does use the same oil that the oil injection uses.

    The oil injection will eventually prime itself but it sometimes takes a LONG time. Best way to prime it is to get all the air out of the lines betwen the oil tank and pump that you possibly can. Premix your first tank of gas 50/1. That way you will be sure that you have a proper mix even if the pump doesn't prime right away. When it does start working, you may smoke a bit because of the oil rich mix. This won't hurt a thing and the pump will be primed well before you use up that first tank. Better too much oil for an hour or so than not enough.

    Bill.
