Grab your self a Haynes manual they can be very helpful.

He already said it runs on ether/starting fluid, whatever you call it.

"Quick start". I had to go back and look. I am a Provincial you know. Descended from Bloody Colonists who revolted. That was before my time, though I am old.
I'v been giving just due to the accomplishments of the British Empire on on of our political forums. You would be proud!
