Year would be late 40's very early 50's as it needs to be a smooth pushrod tube.

George Prew is one of the better known Goldie dealers in the UK, he has a huge stock of Goldie stuff, and keeps parts for the more obsure Goldies, like Trials and Scrambles models.
If you don't have any luck let me know through the board and i will let you have Flinty's and Roys numbers as well.

I would call George Prew, he has most things and will be able to advise you. Real Goldie Clip on had the mounds for the levers welded to them.

Sounds like it maybe your carb, chck all the usual, Float height and the like, check the slide for wear and if the jets are correct. Maybe insulate (heat wise) the carb from the head by use of a plastic spacer.
Check the timing if this don't work have the Mag checked over.
Or all of the above...
It will be something basic, Fuel evaperation is my fave, so once you have her just past TDC and the timing retarded, give the carb a good tickle and then go for it...

You may not want to hear this, but i cut mine out with an angle grinder, but i had another arm i was going to fit. You can drill the ends out and then remove the arm then get an engineering firm to press the spindle out (mine took 100 tonne press to get it moving) in the other arm, hacksaw the old bushes out to split them or use a gouging chisel.
But what do you put back, well it depends what you want to spend, i had a bronze bush conversion done on mine with grease nipples to keep it lubed up, cost about £100 - £150 but i feel it was well worth it, as i can now take the arm out in about 15 mins.

Yep alloy tank is ok for the road.
As for buying a Goldie, what sort do you want, there are 5 types of engine, two types of frame and about 4 main types of style (Clubmans, Touring, Scrambles & Trials).
Make sure it has a Gold Star Club cert so you can be sure its genuine, there are alot a very very good fakes out there as it is very easy to build a Goldie from mainly new parts.
There is one on ebay at the moment, if it is what is says it is, then convert it back into a Catalina, as they are stunning bikes.

Goldies, came in various trims, Road, Touring, Race, Scrambles and Trials. There were some other mods as well, BB's came as "Clipper", Hi pipe and BB engine, then there was the "Catalina", basically a Scrambler in road trim. Trials bikes were based around rigid ZB32's though there were some ZB34's, rememer the ZB engine came in two types, (smooth pushrod, and Fined pushrod tunnel with separate rocker box, the latter looking like a BB), the latter ones having the hi pipe. Later Swinging arm Trials bikes are very very rare. Scramblers are slightly more comon and can be identified with SC stamped on the gear box.
