Hi all, I bought myself a new "toy" but unfortunally is a few parts missing.
Hope to locate the parts, so I can get it started.

Spend a little time with the engine tonight.
Took all sparkplugs out & cleaned them.
Sprayed all cylenders with WD40.
Then it was time to see if she would turn ?
First she was a bit "tight" (used a lever on the ring gear) so I sprayed some WD40 on both crank ends.
After a while I switched the lever with a spanner on the front of the crank. Then oil startet coming around the engine, and it loosened up.
I then sprayed some more WD40 into the bores, and left it alone, so it can "go to work" .
Hope to start it when I have found the missing manifold.

Rick has found the shirt that you could sew onto your button!
Admittedly it's not missing a button but that's just a detail.
