Heypigfarmer, The only reason Detroit Diesel 2 cycle/stroke are no longer made is their inability to meet polluption laws. A turbocharged 2 cycle DD will have as much H.P. as a four cicle engine and just as efficient in fuel consumption. With a strong battery even a 20 degrees they would start right up. One trick is to hold the fuel stop and worm up the combustion chambers first, and than easy in the fuel stop to the run position.. I have seen many DD 2 cycle engine burning and slobering oil out of the air boxes, stop using oil with a good tune-up. Here at the tractor pulls there are a few 3/71 running very strong, sounding more like a v/8 than a 3 cylinder engine, and very competitive. Guido.
