like i said b4 i am new to 2 stroke engines wat kind of lubricants do i have to put in after i rebuild if any or does the gas an oil mix take care of it sorry i know its a stupid question but i thought i would ask
 
the oil in the gas does take care of it. but you should put a little oil on the wrist pin bearing and put some oil on the cylinder/piston so its not dry on the first start up
 
the info is here somewhere, use the search function at the top of the home page. it'll help you more to help yourself instead of us holding your hand through everything

x2 on this, i have even heard of some guys using tranny fluid on the cylinder walls for break in claiming better ring seating.
 
I always put a splash of straight 2 stroke premix in the crank case on top of lubing the wristpin and crank bearrings.I wouldn't fill it but a half a cup or so hasn't ever hurt anything.just enough so that as the crank and rod go around they're hitting oil better safe than sorry.and as any good tech will tell you the first time starting a fresh mill is critical and lubrication will make or break it.
