Gas valve on, Diesel fuel valve on. Switch over lever on LH side forward(for gas running). Speed control lever all the way down to diesel shut off (Thats the lever or LH side of steering shaft. If there is ignition switch, turn it on. If no ignition switch is obvious, it likely still has the original system which has a switch that is activated by the switch over lever. Give it some choke and hit the starter. If it does not start on 3 or 4 turns, you have problems. If it starts, let it run on gas for 2 or 3 minutes if the weather is warm. If cold may take longer. Then pull back switchover lever and advance speed control lever at same time. If all is ok it will switch to diesel. To shut down, push switchover lever forward and speed control down at the same time to switch back to gas. Turn off gas under tank and let it die due to lack of gas. When it dies, pull the switch over lever back to the diesel position.
