The diesel should do your engine good. Not only will it cure the hot hard starting, your engine should run better and cooler on it and possibly even start easier when cold.

Your engine has rather low compression and low octane fuel suits it best. Diesel lowers the octane of the gas.

The long stroke, slow revving design also takes advantage of the slower burning heavy ends.

Of course there is a limit to how much diesel you can burn but it sounds like 10% is working fine.

If there is any smoke you could try kerosene instead of diesel. It is lighter and should burn better.

Have you noticed any difference in power, coolness, smoothness or anything?
