hello, need a crash course

[brewster mike]

Thanks for all the great info. I updated my profile and first posr with a little about myself.

Basically I'm not needing any info on how to make an engine run, just this particular engine. Im so overloaded with bmw knowledge, that something this "simple" is complicated to me. Haha, where are the computers?

It's amusing to me talking to some of the old timers around here, they hate/just don't understand all the modern electronics/fuel injection, and are amazed i work with it so well.

On the flip side, while i have a basic under standing, of carbs, points, etc, I have no practical experience with them. It's a shame, and id really like to learn it. They just don't teach it anymore, as its not something that helps you make them money in a modern shop.

Anyway, enough rambling from me, let's see if we can wake the old girl up.

Engine oil is straight 30? What do I use in the generator? I'll do some more reading as i find it.
