Be sure to oil the bores and pump up oil pressure before trying to start it.

ITS NOW RUNNING, after not being started in 20 years only took 30 mins to get going and a mess about with the dizzy.
everything works and isnt smoky which is good, oil gauge is about 70 is that right

Anything over 50lb. sq. in. I would have thought is good. When warm and at idle, probably no less than 25lb. sq. in. If the pressure gets 'very high' ie. much over your 70lb. it could indicate a problem in that the oil can't 'flow' and is restricted somewhere. I'd be happy with the 70lb peak if the oil is cold and engine speed above idle...
