Nope, you will see the piston damper.

nope - the damper is the bit yu remove, because it damps the movement of the piston. yu see the hole at the top of the piston, that the damper slides into.

If you put too much in it will come out of the hole in the black cap when you rev the engine and self level so don't worry

If carbs worn use engine oil if not use the 3 in one or similar, wont make a huge difference.​
