Default First Gas Engine

I was the lucky recipeant of a hand-me-down aircraft. I am not sure of the make
but it is what I would call a 120 size (maybe bigger) Citabria. It needs only minor
repair and electronics suite to be ready to fly. After recieving it at the field and
resting up a bit at home, I took a closer look. I noticed a swing door carb on the
side (I don't know to much about mechanics) and then a spark plug and cable
on the bottom. So I am guessing that it is a Gas Engine.

I will try to post pics later today, maybe someone can ID it for me.

OK, now knowing I am a newbie and not good with mechanics, what should I know?
Is it normal unleaded gas or something like weed eater 2 stroke? Any useful helpful
knowlodge is appriciated. I am not even sure how to start it, fuel it. LOL I have not
really taken a good look yet. Like I said, I will try to post pics.
