Just an aside: When I was growing up (not sure I ever did), I put kerosene in my father's 10-20 "just to see what it was like." Man, what a pain! You HAVE to start on gas. You HAVE to get the engine hot (radiator water giving off vapor), you have to KEEP the engine hot (work, or radiator curtain or blind adjusted as needed). If the engine is allowed to cool, like when you want to take a short break, it will spit and sputter until it gets hot again. If you shut if off with kerosene or distillate in the carb, the motor won't start if it has been allowed to cool down. So, back to the old starting routine again (shut off main fuel tank, drain the carb, open the gasoline valve, start the engine, heat it up, shut off the gasoline valve, open up the main fuel tank valve). Oh, and I forgot to mention: Those drains in the crankcase are not just for checking oil levels. They are for draining part of the motor oil out every X-number of hours (maybe 10, but I don't remember for sure) because the kerosene or distillate has a habit of condensing a bit and running past the rings. Dilutes the oil, so you have to drain some of it out and top off with new oil.
