Welcome aboard oldylocks. Sounds like you are already having fun with your new find… they are addictive. As for oiling, I use the modern TCW3 oil in all my old motors, burns much cleaner than the old straight 30W. Use a rich mixture, 16:1 may be OK but more oil is better 12:1 or even 8:1 is used in some of the oldest motors. As for torque spec, none for these old motors, just nice and tight and be sure that the crank taper and hub are clean and oil free. I’m sure that someone here will chime in with more info on your motor.
You didn’t say where you are located… check out the "Upcoming Events" page here and bring your motor out to a local meet. The guys will like to hear your story and provide help in getting her back in shape.
