I know nothing about diesels, except that I hate the sound of a "Jake brake" if I'm anywhere near it. Some semi drivers think they are cool, because where I live is flat, and they still use them to slow down. I really had not thought of the reason IH put mixture controls only on the carbs of the distillate/kerosene C113. But, I imagine it was because kerosene or distillate does not burn as well as gas, and it required a leaner mixture to reduce contamination of the oil. That carb tends to run rich anyway, even on gas. Manifold heat control valves should be kept in working order on tractors and cars with gasoline engines because other than kero/distillate, the engines work better with a cold mixture. Perhaps I should say with cold air.
