So, do you think Dwyer Felton is going to come out with a diesel walk behind mower?
I like the idea of the two-stroke diesels but I just don't know that much about them. One thing I read said that they tend to be heavy -- good for marine applications, etc. I also read that they don't use the crankcase to shoot the fuel-air mixture up to the combustion chamber. The fuel-air mixture is pumped under pressure -- sounds similar to a supercharger.
Detroit Diesel(GM).........are a two stroke supercharged,turbocharged Diesel........they have maximum torque at 1100Rpm and high idle of 2100Rpm.......these are Truck engines.
The car diesel engines are lighter even some have aluminum Blocks and heads..........but Steel Liners.........they have come a long way .........have a look at mercedes Benz.........racing their Diesel engine powered race cars.
Dwyer Felton........only have petrol honda.........they should look at diesel.........as the more they weigh the better.
