If you have a 29 or newer it has baffles in the manifold torun either gas or Kero. There are two baffles to loosen and switch. one right above the carb and it says gasoline one way and kerosene the other. you switch it to read right side up for the fuel you are using. the other is a round baffle just above the exhaust elbow, same deal with that one, but there is an Arrow<- that you line up for the fuel. If yours doens't have those baffles then it will run ok (older than 29), but it may miss out some and power will be down from what it should be if you run gas. If you run Kero, you need to cover the bottom half of the radiator to get the water good and hot. If you don't the oil will be thinned out by kerosene condensing on the cyl walls. The middle oil check valve is what you use to drain off the kero in the oil, but do it after it sits over night. Drain it to the middle valve and then refill with fresh to the top valve. I used to run my 10-20 on kero so I learned a lot about doing it. I will also say, I got a lot of comments like, what is it running on?.
