I bought a Cunningham walk behind sickle mower at a scrap yard for $50 last fall and am hoping to put it to work this summer. The engine turns and has compression but I have not tried to start it yet. I am hoping to try it this week. This is a Cunningham engine that was only produced for a couple of years before Briggs & Stratton sued Cunningham for patent infringement, as I understood what information I have found online. I am somewhat accustomed to working on engines made from the 1970s or so to today, but I have never had anything older to work on till now. What type of oil should I use, and is there anything about engines of this vintage that is different from modern engines that I should know about before I try to start it? Any advice will be much appreciated. Zach
