See that little plunger thingy on the side of the tank?
That's the oil pump. You gave it a squirt every so often, to feed the valves.
Those bikes, (and the Harleys and Indians of the day) ran a "constant loss" oil system. It basically just poured out onto the track, which explains why so many boardtrack racers died, (many of them died from injuries caused by giant splinters).
Ouch.
