Somebody else can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this does not have a pony, which is a separate engine. I think this is one of those which starts on gasoline and then the same engine switches to diesel. This is accomplished by decreasing the combustion volume which increases the compression ratio and pressure. That being the case, starting consists of moving the gas/diesel running lever to gas, turning on the gas, and starting as any other gas engine. As near as I know there is no throttle in this mode. Engine speed is controlled by the use of a carburetor which is too small to allow enough fuel/air mixture for the engine to run at anything above an idle speed. After the engine warms up, the lever is moved back to the diesel mode, the engine slows some, and then it belches much sooty smoke, stumbles some, and takes off on diesel power.
