I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old vintage Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carb clean as new!
Nice, but no coolant?

You could run it for a minute or so, any more and you do need to cool it!

Might be an expert, but only an idiot starts an engine without any cooling system.
