Hi Partcleman,

2 drops of silicone friendly oil in the carb before first start and oil the small end and inside of the bore with the piston at TDC and that will be fine,  no need to strip it.  (they are lubed from the factory).

Of course it is always fun to see what is inside  but run it first in case it is faulty and you have to return it IMHO

Best wishes
