I bought a 1966 SAAB 96 Monte Carlo way back in 1987. Three cylinder 850 cc 2 stroke triple carb . What fun until the oil injection pump failed and the engine seized. Still, I sold the car for what I paid for it even with a broke engine.
I am sorry yours broke. The design of those engines is meant to stop the engine if the oil pump quits turning. The drive gear is held to the crank by two spring-loaded spurs that engage notches in the drive gear. I never trusted that system and ran some premix using synthetic oil.
I started one that I installed a freshly rebuilt engine in and made a cloud of smoke that engulfed my house from the oil used in assembly of the engine. 😂
I drove a friends DKW a few times. I thought the handling was loosey goosey (my technical term) compared to my two-stroke Saabs. How does a Wartburg handle?
The fuel probably needed sloshing around. Maybe the oil either rose to the top or fell to the bottom and got sucked up by the fuel and it was running on too much oil making it smoke like crazy…

I hope you are able to restore this old beauty. I look forward to seeing your posts of the progress.
