Thanks for the help, one more question?

The owner had hand turned/cranked the motor couple times a year, anything else I should prime before trying to crank?

Need good gas in the carburetor and oil circulating in the engine. I would crank the engine over a couple times with the battery before I turned the ignition on. This will start the old circulating before it starts. If it starts, keep an eye on the oil pressure gauge. It should show pressure within a few seconds. Make sure everything that the belt from the crankshaft turns is free. I had a water pump shaft stuck one time.
