It's a 1957 model. Getting a manual would be your best bet on the rest. there is a link at the top of this page that says manusls. They should have one for this motor.<br /><br />Good luck

Re: engine info

The parts manual for that motor is particularly useful. Check this website, and also Ebay. If you find an Ebay seller with manuals, email them and see if they have something for your particular model. The oil to gas ratio would be 24 or 32:1. Use the new oil (TCW-3) as it burns cleaner than the non-detergent 30 wt your motor initially used. (You will find a lot of opinions on oils.)
