Ah I see.  Thank you.  I'm probably close to that now!  I will carry on.  It will be nice to post photos of the bike!

Thank you Tinkicker,

I took a few photos, showing the left panel removed which reveals the 2-stroke oil tank.  I cannot see how to access the filler without removing the seat.

I have the photos on Google Images:

Just getting a 404 error on your links.  Try opening a flickr account and putting them on there.

Thanks for letting me know about those links.  They worked for me so it must be a "sharing" problem.

I've added the photos to Flickr.  Can you see them here?

Your pictures match the written descriptions, diagrams, and photos people have posted.  Are you still confused on how to add oil?   

Wing bolt looks like it was replaced with a conventional bolt.  They do get lost sometimes.
