The engine including components for operating the engine in a four-stroke sequence, and components for introducing a fuel mixture into the combustion portion of the cylinder, the fuel mixture having an ability to lubricate. The engine including a construction and/or configuration for promoting passage of a portion of the mixture from the combustion portion of the cylinder to the crankcase in a sufficient amount to provide lubrication within the crankcase without reservoir lubricant in the crankcase.
