There is a book callled "Featherweight 221 - The Perfect Portable" by Nancy Johnson-Srebo that has been helpful for me. I got it at my LQS a couple of years ago.
That's not true- the lubricant goes in the motor. The manual shows exactly where to lube it and oil the rest of the parts.
Redpurselady- Thanks for the great link ! :D Good for reference .
