Busted diaphragm in the fuel pump. Replace the fuel pump to solve this problem. Can also be a carburetor problem such as a leaking needle valve and seat or a pinhole in the carburetor float. This would require disassembly and rebuilding the carburetor.
No you can not use gas engine oil in diesel engine oil because processing of diesel engine is different from gas engine oil. If you use this then it damage your vehicles.
A gas only engine has a spout where oil is added to the engine. If there is no spout, then it is a gas/oil engine. FYI - gas only engine is a four-stroke (four-cycle) engine and the gas/oil engine is two-stroke (two-cycle).

A four cycle engine does not use a gas/oil mixture. The oil is in the crankcase and the gas goes in the gas tank. If you put oil in the gas on a 4 cycle engine it will run poorly and smoke a lot.

The recommended oil to use for mixing with gas in a two-stroke engine is two-stroke engine oil.
Look on the oil container and the engine that you want to use it in. The engine will tell you what ratio to mix the oil and gas at. The container of oil will tell you what amount of gas should be mixed with it. I have found that the best way is to put the oil into an approved gas can and then add the gas to it. This helps to mix the oil better.
No, nor could oil in the gas.
To put oil in a 283 Chevy motor, locate the oil fill cap, which is typically on the top of the engine, often marked with "Oil" or an oil can symbol. Remove the cap and use a funnel to pour the appropriate type and amount of oil into the engine. It's important to check the oil level with the dipstick after filling to ensure it's at the correct level. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific oil capacity and specifications.
It depends if it is a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke. A 2 stroke engine, you mix the gas and oil. A 4 stroke engine, there are separate tanks for the oil and gas.
