The water valve on the mixer takes water from the cooling hopper and is used when the engine is working hard. Water injection way before their time. If you have the engine working under load and just open the water valve a little, you should hear the engine change note (quieter) and I am told that it will also be an increase in power. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺.
Some more anecdotal evidence to your suggestion. I worked for the Mount Clements Pottery fueling their 24 hr tunnel kilns with oil. The long experienced tenders of the kilns said the kilns fired faster with less fuel on humid days. I also had a small oil fired ceramic kiln and sprayed small amounts water combustion area for more efficient firing.
water would have been from the hopper and ran into the small hole directly under the mixer. the water hookup is actually the water drain. the water was used to help prevent pre ignition when running on kerosene. they were warmed up on gas then slowly switched over to kerosene

I am not sure that pre igntion is a problem with kerosene given the newer high compression of diesel engines. I think some other thing of the way molecules mix is the clue. Perhaps an expert in cumbustion could weigh in.
Gidday, my good friend over here in Australia has recently picked one of these up at an auction, we where wondering if you have any pointers as to why we can't get her to fire? It appears to have a different ignition to yourse

We got the same issue. We think our crankshaft and camshaft are out of time but can't tell without any marks.
I had two of these engines and found that they were incredibly easy to start.
Can’t hear a single word you’re saying. Would love to have heard the narrative.
very nice engine have one the same as that
shut the engine off then explain
