Well as for what i would be running in her would be I H # 1 diesel oil in a straight 30 weight . As for the pump same there But you will probably find that the seal is out on the transfer pump and it will leak Fuel into the pump. Common problem .As to why the gas side is not working Well start with a good tune up with the proper spark plugs , They won't be cheap. Next the switch over switch then the carb as the needle valve may be sticking and trying to find a kit for it will be like looking for HEN"S TEETH . Always allow it a good warm up on the gas side before switching to the diesel side . Always make sure that the little gas tank has gas in it , never stall it in the field and not be able to restart Fast when HOT . Allow a long cool down before shut down and ALWAYS SHUT DOWN ON THE DIESEL SIDE NEVER switch back over to the gas side as this will raise the combustion temps . You can work them all day long hard but like and old work horse they need to cool way down at just above and idle till the temp gauge reads COLD on the bottom end of the gauge. I have ran many of the old gas start I H's over the years in tractors and Industrial equipment and this is the way i was taught . It served me well when i owned a 450 D and that old tractor is still going and is not far from me .
