Thanks both - apols for the delay in replying - I posted in haste as I was leaving on a trip, so I can't check anything right now.
I had thought that 90 was the right oil, although standard engine oil was acceptable. I'll switch back. I also thought that 2/3 of a pint was the right amount - that's well below the threads of the filler. I can see how the thick oil is likely causing the prop shaft to spin in neutral.
Clutch adjustment looked tricky - it seemed to involve heating and then bending all 3 levers.... The clutch did seem to work OK on first assembly.
Simon - I'll have to check when I get back - If the flywheel is moving forward, does that imply the crank is pushing forward too? That's worrying!!
I'll let you both know what I find out, though it'll be a little while sadly.
