Mike- Suggest you go with recommendations by RB, Burrhead, and Wider views... But- Keep the main fuel tank with plain old gasoline. Use the little start up tank for whatever concoction you come up with to approximate "distillate". Use the two tanks backwards from the OEM procedure- trust me on this.

Per the bad old days, fire it up and warm it up on gasoline, close the gasoline tank valve and promptly open the valve on your distillate tank.

If it begins running like stink don't just stand there looking stupid... Quick like, reverse the fuel feeds and hope it runs long enough to burn off the nasty fuel!

You say you have all the parts. Fine, do your homework about cylinder head, pistons, distributor or magneto spark advance curve, initial spark timing, and hard telling what else may have gotten changed around over the years.

Yes, most certainly, enjoy your old machine. Please be careful to not get hurt yourself (as in hand cranking), or screw up a good old machine (as in holy pistons batman!)

Talking technical now... My very limited experience with that stuff in another venue is that you should have a special intake/exhaust manifold, that'll retort to hot vapor any flammable liquid used as fuel. Figger anything that don't flash to vapor before the spark plug fires is gonna wash down the cylinder walls and screw up the lube oil supply, or create smoke and stench that'll make you real un-popular with those around you. Good luck!
