Diesel Two Strokes, powerful and efficient..

pretty interesting. That'd be pretty badass in smaller form, twice the power as a conventional engine of same displacement.

Yah, i've been looking for a Diesel Scoot for a long time, but have been unable to find out. (been looking for about 5 years)

well it would have to be injected instead of carbed, plus have some sort of forced induction to be 2 stroke, which is highly unlikely.

although would be badass if possible!

There are two stroke carbureted diesel model airplane engines.

so that means that you would need a turbo for a moped.

I love the fuel pressure's then run in the Gm duramax - 2006 run 25,000 psi !!!how's that ,a gas vehicle only runs maybe 60psi,,You dont need glow plugs in warmer climates,there's so much compression that the fuel ignites under compression .

those burn nitro diesal iirc

You may be able to get away with not having a turbo/supercharger by having a longer stroke that would increase the compression. I think the problem with having a diesel scooter is getting the fuel up to a higher enough pressure for the injector.

Yeah, maybe there was nitro in the fuel, but mostly I recall model airplane diesel fuel mix as basically ether/kerosene/castor oil. Smelly stuff! Old time modelers had their dope fumes, airplane glue and diesel fuel to sniff.

. Also, airplane diesels had screw on the head to raise/lower compression too. Guys would dink with compression to start and tune the engine before takeoff.

Wonder if the ether would evaporate too fast in a scooter tank?

Actually there not techincally "a diesel". They are a compression ignition with out the injector ,very similar to the spree motor . it injests air and fuel . when the mixture is compresed enuf it reacts with the paladium glow plug and lights the whole shebbang off. a diesel (older) will run as long as you give it fuel (forever). Lose a glow plug on a small plane and lose all power (stalls)
