Have you never tried kerosene? As it has a lower octane rating than gas, just like the solvents, probably you would already have a baseline for your tests.

Is the lawnmower engine a flathead? As they often have low compression ratio, handling such lower-grade fuels didn't really seem to be much of a problem.
