I just aquired, from a friend, a beatiful Singer 306W sewing machine. It
came without a power cord, so I found one. It gets power, but sounds like
the motor is spinning, and no action. Is there an oiling diagram, or belt
diagram, something to give me a hint as to what the problem might be?

Is there a belt connected from the motor pully to the handwheel ?
If this is not a potted or geared drive machine, which i do not
believe it is, then there should be a belt connecting the motor
pully to the handwheel .
Is the top motion clutch engaged or is the handwheel spinning but
the machine is not running ? When you turn the handwheel manually
does the needle bar move ?
There is a big silver knob on the handwheel that acts as a stop
motion clutch. Twist it clockwise a bit to engage power to the
machine and turn it counter clockwise a bit to disengage power to
the machine.
hth,
robb

Just to piggyback on Robb's reply, the 306 has a cleated drive belt on
the inside which is also driven by the external motor.
These internal belts are no longer available, so hopefully yours is
intact.
The 319 has the same internal cleated belt setup, and you can see what
it looks like here, scroll down about half way:
