What weight oil did you use?

Usually on an engine thats a little older. You would want to use the same kind of oil in it thats always been used in it. If possible, find out what the previous owner used, and try using that.

Next time you start it and it ticks, shut it off, wait a few seconds and re-start. Still ticking?
