Kerosene actually works better than diesel or mineral spirits.. smells better too. I usually cut 8oz of ATF with 1-2oz of kerosene.. that way it is thinned out a bit so that it will shoot thru a hand held finger pump squirt or spray bottle ( old windex bottle.. etc ).. or more preferably.. a pump-spot oiler. Expirement... you may have to thin it down further to get it to squirt or spray thru whatever pump / spray bottle you have. There is no right or wrong.. just keep in mind that it is the ATF that does most of the lube and cleaning.. and the kerosene is the thinning agent.. plus a solvent and will help it to creep into tight spots. When adding this to oil or gas .. i just add the straight ATF.. no cutting. ( i lil atf in the oil and gass can help get things flushed and un-gummed if they have been sitting for a while.) Usually if I get a new old tractor that has been setting.. I fill the spark plug holes with some atf-mix and let it set for a few days.. witht he old plugs loosely threaded in to keep dirt out.. then i pul the plugs and rotate the engine over and add more.. replug.. and then come back a day later and remove plugs and then roll the engine over to expell any fluid remaining to prevent hydro-lock.. then i drain the gas and oil and replace with new gas.. and usually cheap walmart or jiffy store oil with some straight ATF in it.. plus a new filter.. i run this for only a few hours as a flush.. then if all is good and no other problems.. I'll change out the oil after maybee.. a few hours if it looks bad.. or perhaps up to 10 hours if it looks clean.. then put in whatever oil I would normally use, plus another new filter.. then move on to the rest of the tractor. Also.. DO use new plugs.. Everyone has their own way to do things.. so you will probably get a few variations on this type of "resurection" procedure.. Soundguy
