In addition to what has been already said, I found while operating a 1941 H many years ago in the 1940's on Standard "power fuel" which was a distillate-like tractor fuel that was popular then, that running the carburetor out of the fuel and then draining off any left (provided the carb had a drain valve..our's did) really made starting much easier. When starting we turned on the gasoline valve under the little gas tank and waited 1/2 a minute or so for the carburetor to fill with gas then started up the engine with the shutters closed and waited about 10 minutes before switching off the gas and turning open the fuel valve under the main tank which put it on fuel. The engine usually, if it wasn't too cold, ran and pulled okay on the power fuel then. If it was below freezing it usually took a little longer to warm the engine enough to run it on the power fuel...and if it was real cold we didn't try to use the power fuel at all, filling the main tank with gasoline instead. You did have to monitor the engine temperature and open the shutters when the engine warmed up or it boiled the alcohol/water coolant out very quickly...and that wasn't good.....About "cooked" the poor H once running the hammer mill on the belt and forgot to open the shutters all the way... about scared the poop out of me, but Thank God the H was okay.
