Default old wooden boat

Greetings,
I just joined the group so thanks for having this group.
I just bought an old wooden boat with inboard engine (one cylinder). It
has no electric system so it starts by turning a crank.
I bought it as a hobby - something to do in the dark and cold winter
evenings.
I want to open the motor and refurbish it. It is "Fredrikstad Mekaniske
Verksted" from Norway. The producer is long closed down.
Can anybody tip me if there exist drawings or parts for such old
engines?
Thanks for replies
Kamil

Thanks for all replies.

Shortwave Sportfishing: I did not even know the term "one lung flywheel
engine" now I have something to Google.

Eisboch: FMV was the biggest employer in the region. The word
"outsorcing" was not invented then so they manufactured everything in
the ship. Big engines, ship furniture, everything. They apparently had
a small engine workshop too.

basskisser: I am not familiar with the terms but the engine fires at
every revolution.

Best
Kamil
