9N start up

Looking to get her running. She came with some property I recently acquired. She has not run in 10 years. She had oil and fluids. Drained the gas tank and appeared to have kerosene. I know few had run on Kerosene but I find no conversion so I am thinking she is gas.

I put jumper cables to her and wala she turned over. So now I am encouraged to get her started. I plan on cleaning up engine head and flushing with diesel to remove old oil sludge and Put in fresh 30w. Can I use a 12v battery? Change plugs, wires and see what I get. Any advice is much appreciated. I don't want to buy a bunch of parts yet until I know she will start or at least replace what is necessary at this point.

To bad you spun it over already. Oh well since you did maybe to did not hurt any thing.

I would fill the cylinders with ATF and let it sit a couple days
I would also pull the distributor and put in a new set of points. Do not buy them at Tractor supply but form NAPA or O'Reilly's that way you get good ones.
Next I would use a small gas tank like from a lawn mower as a test tank to see if you can get it to run. If you change the spark plugs I would use a set of NGK3112 in it.
 
If it had kerosene in the tank, possibly it was put in there as a preservative. There is a drain plug in the bottom of the carb, you'll want to remove the plug and get some gas flowing through to flush it out, then replace the plug once the flow is clean.

Unless there is water in the oil, no real need to flush it. Just drain the old oil, refill it. Most of us now use 10w-40, or 15w-40 diesel oil instead of straight 30.

You'll want to check the transmission/differential oil for water. Crack the drain plugs, see if water comes out. If it's been stored outside, good chance it's in there.

You can start it up with 12 volts. Be careful not to crank on it too long, the starter will heat up quickly. Once you determine it will run, don't run it very long, it will be hard on the coil, points and regulator.
