Rough idle and no oil presure
Rough idle could be several things. Bad plugs, wires, or it might need new points. Could be Carb out of adjustment. No oil pressure could be bad engine or oil pressure gauge. You can try and boost oil pressureby changing your oil with a heavier weight oil (15w40). You can also remove the oil spring at the front of the engine and fill this with oil from a oil can, and put it back in. This acts as a primer. Hope this helps.
