Shogun Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 You will have to take the carburetor to bits and clean it out the float bowl will be full of diesel,so it won't start on the diesel in the carburettor strip it down and clean it out, clean the spark plug and any filters that are in the fuel lines and it should go..
