Elkins45 you're right. Long ago they started farm tractors then switched over to kerosene after they warmed up and run all day, week after week and month after month. But, todays world wont allow that...kerosene is awful high.

A decade ago I saw a yellow plastic gallon jug of emergency fuel in Walmart that you were supposed to be able to store safely in your vehicle. The instructions said to pour it in before the engine cooled off and use it to drive to the nearest gas station. I saw it again a few months later in the clearance aisle and then never again.

i wonder if that was kerosene or something very similar?
One thing that happened to me on my Toro Z453 mower was when I purchased a new battery they gave me one that had the positive and negative termianls on the opposite side of my original battery but it fit into the holder. Well, it displayed the symptoms you discussed. I finally doing testing discovered that my connections were reversed. I turned the battery around and all was good.
