I would change the oil immediately, and the filter. Disconnect the coil lead so it cant start while you crank it until oil pressure comes up. The discolouration on the carb pistons is not unusual - get it off without abrading the metal surface. If the carbs have separate fuel bowls you should probably open them and clean inside, and replace the needle and seat units that control the fuel depth. I would also drain all the fuel and replace it, filling tank if possible so you dont need reserve - possible rubbish in bottom. Also would clean battery connections until bright, lightly grease. Clean or renew spark plugs, and check points in dizzy. Keep us up to date with progress.
Hi Thanks.
so on eye the oil is oke, not very old, maybe it is changed so I did ask previous owner. The motor is tryed to get started there, and without success seems. Compression is oke, and quite high!!! Need to go to lpg otherwise pingling occur. How much oil need in the engine including filter?.
I have the idea to use cheap (full) mineral oil from action, then refresh later with new one, this way I get all the rubbish out.
I have remove the plugs, these are new by the way, when start I have a spark but it is low of energy so look at the capacitor. Only starter motor do
not engage all the time, and need a kick with a metal stink to work again, result of long stand still. As I do now from 1981 in a barn.
I have made a unit for the lathe, now I can rebus the mean break cilinder, I go use brass for it as this site did. Now retired, like me.

The wiper motor has a defective connector, I did not find yet a replacement for that, both men and woman connector are defective, rust was the cause, I have a wiper motor of a older rover but does not fit. Motor is on other side.
I have now remove the radiator, looks oke, and rust needs removed, all rust everywhere is just dust there is almost nothing rotten, just 2 little holes.
The heater is now painted and ready, did remove the green on heater radiator with lemon juice.
Can I fill the cooling with modern coolant? or stick on water with antifreeze?.
