I bought a 73 mark 1 that I know nothing about. What is the fuel/oil mix ratio and what oil goes in the gearbox? Also where the heck are the reeds on this thing?? I have 1 dead cylider and I want to check them out. It doesn't want to pump fuel either. Anyone know where to get fuel pump parts? Thanks in advance for any help.

Fuel Oil mix was originally 25-1. Automatic transmission fluid goes in the gearbox.

The Reeds are located directly on the crankshaft in a holder that surrounds the crankshaft. The engine must be disassembled to check/change the reeds.

Fuel pump rebuild kits are available for $15 plus shipping.
