Listeroid Engines / Sage Advice

As always, gentlemen, thanks for your posts and comments!
I do have George's CD, and have for years. I believe I have read through most or all of it, but I have certain pockets of stupidity that prevent me from actually figuring out the basic care and feeding sections are among all the massive amounts of details that I also find interesting. I thought perhaps if there were some threads on the forum of the reader's digest, condensed operators manual, it would be helpful to get the facts in one, small place.
As for the original manual, I bought this engine in 2005 from the back of a guy's truck. I don't think there were more than two guys in the states back in 2005 that sold these - none of them being actual "dealers" If I recall, we practiaclly had to smuggle these engines in to the states.
I don't believe I ever had an operator's or service manual that explained anything. in fact, I was surprised that I was never shipped instructions on even how to start the engine. I recall the only thing that the engine came with was some parts lists written in Indian.
Maybe this is why I am feeling so dumb. (or not)
Jens, Thanks for the reference to the photo. This is exactly what I thought, but I am glad to confirm it. Part of my confusion is that the top of this pump, there is a bolt that I thought would be the place to mount an oil pressure gauge. When I do, it does not show any pressure at all
So, does anyone know where I can get a PDF of the Operators and Service manuals for a 12/2?
Thanks, oh, wise men.
