Answer Hello Scott:
The Numbers you Sent me are the Series Numbers. However, Remove the Fuel Line from the Carburetor Inlet Port and Drain the Gas Tank. If there is a Fuel Filter, then Remove the Fuel Line at the Fuel Filter Inlet and Grain the Tank. Once the Tank is Drained, Flush the Tank with Gas and Allow this to Drain Out Also. Now Remove the Carburetor Bowl to Remove the Diesel from the Bowl and Then Replace the Bowl. Change the Spark Plug. It May Take a Few Trys to Get it Started and it May Smoke for a Few Minutes, but the Small Amount of Diesel Fuel, if any wont Hurt. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.
