Did you attempt to start and run the engine with the Kerosene on board? If you did run the fuel pump by an attempted start up...we have to assume some kerosene has migrated into the fuel delivery system. I would be inclined to remove the rear seat and remove the fuel pump for inspection. I would then pump the gas tank dry and test the fuel pump before reinstalling same into gas tank. 5 gal of gas and a restart to clear out any residual K. Get back to us with any results of these suggestions.
