om...
2-stroke diesels need compressed air for starting the engine, so the
turbo (exhaust driven centrifugal supercharger) is out of a guestion
and it produces very little boost at low rpm anyhow.


Unfortunately, I avoided the opportunity to learn about these engines. My
father ran some
3 cylinder 2 stroke diesels in earth moving equipment some years ago and was
very happy with them. I believe they were turbocharged, but am not certain.
They may have started with a pony engine but again am not certain.

Can you fill me in on the details?
