Jim on a couple of my conversions after a glow break in I just put some diesel in the tank ( glow head and plug glowing) and they
ran, a couple ran ok, but died on transition, as one was about to quit put the glow back on and it picked up. I then switched to the diesel head and all was OK. my eyna 40 4 strk open rocker ran fine on diesel but down a bit on rpm
Also a glow engine by definition is a "Semi diesel" due to the fact it will run without an EXTERNAL ignition source and as far as\
Kero only fuel remember in the full size diesels the fuel is injected at pressures over 1000 psi thru a timed injector as a fine
mist in a perfect spray pattern into the very hot heat of compression. This would be tough to do in a model diesel, hence the ether
martin Also a few months back I think Motorboy did find a reference and picture of German model diesel was was a true scaled
down diesel with an injection system I doubt is was high speed and sure it was a bit heavy also. So most things can be done but
is it practical in everyday use? martin
