I did my best to teach by example. When my kids were young teens at the age when they a prone to start getting in trouble I had a talk with each one explaining the standards. 1. I would bail them out of jail for anything except rape or drugs. 2. If I caught them with drugs I would call the law. 3. I'd make sure that they made any court appearances as directed. 3. I would not pay any fines for them. When they were old enough to drive I told that A. I would not buy them a car. B. As long as they had a job I would pay insurance but nothing else. C. If they caused the insurance to go up they would pay the difference. D. If I ever caught them drinking and driving I would cut their car in half and if it was in my car I was calling the cops, turning them in for drinking and driving and underage consumption. My oldest daughter was the first to get a ticket when she was 17. The oldest 2 boys knew better than to test me. She was afraid of what I would do. I simply reminded her of the rules. She paid her fine and the insurance company did not raise our rates. Never had a problem with the younger kids after that. 7 kids and none have been in jail or even arrested.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
