The Britbike forum site has a dedicated RE board. Worth a trawl through.
It’s probably wet sumped after sitting for so long so empty the sump before you add any more oil to the tank.
It could have stuck rings or a stuck valve, so a compression check would be sensible.
The carb could be full of fuel residue/varnish if it has sat with fuel in it. Worth cleaning out.
The dynamo will need depolarising or “flashing” if it hasn’t run for a while. That won’t stop it starting though, only charging.
A 12 volt conversion is an option, 6 volt will work fine. Bulbs, coil, regulator and battery mostly.
