a petrol engine needs to mix its air and fuel before passing it into the combustion chamber before being ignited diesel has its air mixture heated as the piston compresses it in the combustion chamber then the atomized diesel fuel is injected into the hot air and is ignited.
The combustion chamber is the primary mixer - its ingredients are injected or inducted by valves and carburettor. These days computers control most compositions mixed in the combustion chamber and analyze the effect of the combustion on the mixtures.
Any where between 1500-3000 Fahrenheit (800-1700 Celsius) Type in "Martin Vagn Hansen thesis" in Google, You will find his thesis on measuring flame temps in IC engines.
Diesel has a much higher viscosity than petrol (gasoline). It is less refined and contains more oil to lubricate and cool the combustion chamber in a diesel engine.
There is no cetane number for petrol. Cetane is a measurement of Diesel fuel and Octane is a measure of Petrol. Each is a measure of the combustion ability. Cetane is a measure of the amount of time from injection of the fuel into the combustion chamber and the actual ignition of the fuel. Diesel's ignite the fuel through compression and not spark as in a petrol engine.
The motorbike can only burn so much petrol at a time. To burn petrol it needs to be sprayed as a mist inside the combustion chamber. If you flood the engine it can't burn the petrol so it stalls.
Detonation is a misused word. Pre-ignition is the common problem which cause mis-timing of the combustion cycle. Pre-ignition occurs from a combination of high heat ignition source, temperature and lean ratio mixes. Detonation has two main features, a) poor combustion design that causes a clash of two flame fronts within the combustion chamber that causes two shock waves to hit each other and creates a destructive force. b) a correct combustion chamber that allows the ultra lean fuel mix to explode omni-direction and consumes all the fuel mixture and then extinguishes itself and thus renders no harm to the engine with the expanding gas as the work loan and the contracting gas as a cooling gas at the end of the cycle. A petrol engine with the correct combustion chamber can run on compression ratios of 20:1 and lean petrol mixes as a detonation engine. The real future of the petrol engine is yet to be produced with extraordinary milage and low pollutants. SCB
The diesel engine is designed to use diesel, which reaches combustion at high (relatively to petrol) pressure and temperature. If petrol is injected into a diesel engine, then combustion will take place in a, very different than it was designed, way, which will eventually destroy the engine. But there are engines that have been designed to burn diesel or petrol. They call them bifuel engines. Old farmer tractors used to have this kind of engines.
Sounds like your float is stuck in the carburetor.
Nikolaus Otto developed the internal-combustion engine in 1867. Karl Benz patented the internal-combustion engine in 1879. Gottleib Daimler built a small petrol engine in 1885.
Petrol and diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The internal combustion that turns the engine and powers the wheels is created by the combustion of fuel. No fuel, no combustion, and nothing to drive the wheels.
If petrol mixes with engine oil in a 4 stroke engine then the mixture becomes thick and its combustion will not be efficient. The exhaust will be smoky due to this incomplete combustion. also this will reduce engine efficiency.
