Dude you were dead on it! After revving the motor just a little with covers off I started to see oil. I was just a little concerned because I never heard any noise from this motor before.

I typed sewing machine noise dual spring in the search bar and copied the first result from two pages found. It is quite common for the duals to make noise. Glad you saw some oil pumping through and were able to put your mind at ease.

Glad to hear your engine is ok.
