If it is the radial I can give you the start up proceedure for the ram radial which is the same engine..
It is not to be triffled with.At rest,oil collects in the bottom cylinders of the radial,so it is not a proceedure where you jump in and start cranking.
It has to be turned over by hand a zillion times to clear the oil of else if it fires with out clearing the oil you could be wearing a fancy air cooled cylinder mustache..
Let me know..
I'll scan and send.
