The engine starts on gasoline and runs on diesel. It has three valves in the cylinder head, one is a compression relief that leads to a spark plug. The intake system is linked to a carb for running on gasoline to warm it up, then the linkage closes the carb ports, and the third valve closes, and injection of diesel fuel begins. Very easy starting when all is well. Efficient operation on Diesel. There is no way to run it for work on gasoline as there is no throttle, and it just makes enough speed to be at a fast idle. The manual is a great idea. To fool with it without one is not wise. There are hundreds of posts on this forum about it, and those help. If you get it running, warm it up on gasoline for at least a minute in summer, and 2 to 3 min in winter. Let it run after it is at temp on Diesel for at least a minute and a half at slow idle. If worked hard, idle for 3 to 4 minutes. (prevents cracking a complex head) Do not switch to gasoline for shutting it down, it is not the answer. JimN
