Hah!  FInally found the answer about lubricating the rack and pinion.  Buried 
in the manual is a note that you take out the plug on the top of the rack and 
replace it with a grease nipple and fill with grease.  i bet this has NEVER 
been done before.  It says just give five strokes, because you can damage a 
protective bellows. any advice on the type of grease to use?

and the biggie for today, any recommendations on what type/weight of oil to 
run in the engine the first time I start it up?  Probably will be 55-70 
degrees F. today and tommorrow.
