Re: need year of motor

1959 :)

50:1 fuel to oil (one pint 2-stroke OB oil to 6 gal regular unleaded gas)
J4C Champion gapped .030
Points gap .020
HiVis gearlube about 11oz
Original coils will be junk. If you have spark, they have been replaced.
Many parts are still easy to come by.
A weak link is rounding-off of cogs between the shifter and forward gear making them disengage under load.
