Default What DC engine is it?

Hello everyone!

This is my startoff in this forum here, so here is brief presentation of myself:I am Fred from Germany, 19 years young. I am travelling in New Zealand right now and this is where I found a little model engine in a second-hand store. I purchased it for 20nzd.. I have no idea about RC at all, I was just fascinated about the fact that such a small engine could possibly even work! So here I have now some pictures and what I have found out so far:
It is a Davis Charlton engine, similar to the Dart f.ex.
One nut is missing, to fix that brass tube wich I believe is for the mix of fuel and air
I don't have tank

Those are my questions:

What is the voltage for the glow plug?
what fuel should I use?
How could I build a fuel reservoir? Which size?
Which model is it, anyway?
Are there any other parts missing?
Is there any lubrication needed or should I use a mixed fuel?


I think, that's it for now... I would be really happy if you could help me with this, as I set myself the target just to get this thing running!

Cheers, Fred
