Well, a day or so of oil soaking in and it runs great without taking the motor apart.
But the grime on it was apparently a layer of nicotine! Removing it started making a real mess. So, I swapped in another of my 201-2s and set this one aside for a gloves-on cleanup, when I feel inspired. It's still going to be a fantastic machine.
