Sounds like the idea of spark ignition diesel is an engine that will get some of the fuel economy of a diesel without all the weight or cost of the pure diesel.
Im sure its ok and these 2 stroke have fewer moving parts. Diesel suck at making power and for the same boost pressure a gas engine 2 stroke makes way mmore power than a normal diesel. Ethanol with dfi with 2 stroke turbo is the way to go for me. And this 2 stroke is a dry sump with a vro pumps and the oil burns adding energy to the 2 stroke and you dont thro it away ever unlike a 4 joke. i riiged up my 8v92 2 stroke detroit with total loss and shes doing grerat on 6 gallons of xd-100 etec oil! This optimax is loop chared and it kind of works like the sun which is a giant plasma loop chaed 2 stroke. every lightning bolt is a plasma 2 stroke and ball lightning is a loop charged plasma rotary 2 stroke.
Exactly. Anyone that thinks Mercury would showcase a motor making that noise is being foolish and another comment about ox being better is a joke. Merc. Has had these motors a long time. A 2 stroke and diesel are almost the same anyway and with direct injection and a beefed up head for high compression there u go. Merc. Engineers are some of the best in any field and thier tech. Is used on way more than just boats.

It is in no way a traditional Diesel engine. It's just a 2 stroke gasoline engine that has been modified to ignite diesel fuel by atomizing the fuck out of it and then igniting it with a spark plug.
Maybe sir. But that can't be the only change. You'll want a lot of spark energy if you hope to ignite diesel with an electric spark, at least at lower engine speeds where the engine is operating with manifold vacuum.
they use spark to ignite the diesel fuel other than compression as in a traditional diesel engine so they can up the RPM and not completely destroy the engine but still use diesel fuel because it runs more efficient and the longevity of the engine is greater than a gasoline engine
that is strange, why not raise the compression and but some type of bosch diesel injection pump thingy on them and make a 2 stroke diesel. It would be like a mini detriot with the reed ans seal off crankcase as the blower!
