The diesel and gas will somewhat separate out in the tank. Diesel will go to the bottom. I'd try to siphon out about 4 gallons from the bottom. And then see what happens. See if it will run then. But if you have already tried to make it run, which it sounds like you did, you'll need to drain the carb and fuel lines and filters. And get the straight diesel out of the lines and carb. You'll probably have to do that no matter what you do.
If that don't cut it, then you'll have to drain the whole tank, along with the carb, lines, and filters.
If you don't believe me about the diesel separating from the gas, dump a little of each in a glass jar (about half and half), and see for yourself.
Your fuel supply comes from the bottom of the tank. So you are essentially trying to burn straight diesel. Dumping 4 gallons in, is enough for it to be pulling nothing but diesel off the bottom of the tank.
