    Your compression is only about 50% of what diesel needs to run with power. That's why a diesel runs with out a sparkplug. It requires different conditions. I was surprised it ran that well while idling. Great video! 👍

The bike was ported/polished matched, carbon reeds, ignition, fmf pipe w/shorty. The bike rode really well, had mcr suspension under it. I miss the thing all the time, sold it to buy a new Yz250f.

      The fact that it ran makes me want to bump up the compression, (a lot), maybe advance the ignition, and make sure I get the jetting good, (research it and try). It sounded on the gasoline that the bike has a worn out top end, low on compression,---and diesel can take a lot more compression than gas. With some research and work, it might run pretty good.

    Decades ago I worked for an art handling company in Los Angeles. I rode my 1964 Lambretta (2-stroke) to work every day. I had my own parking spot & kept an extra gas can at work in case I needed to fill up, as there's no gas gauge on the Lambretta. One day a co-worker filled up one of our diesel trucks with gas. Once the truck made it back to our lot my "superior/supervisor" Steve bought some gas cans and drained the fuel out of the truck. He didn't have enough cans, so took mine & drained the diesel/gas mix in to my can. I went looking for my can & found out Steve took it. He told me where to find it, but din NOT tell me he drained diesel into it. I filled up before leaving work & blew a head gasket about 1/2 way home. Had to tear down the engine & new top end.
    Next day I was 10 minutes late for work, as my Lambretta was my only vehicle & I had to a get ride from co-worker. The same dude responsible for blowing my head gasket then wrote me up for being late! However, he didn't write up the co-worker who drove me, or the other employees who arrived after us!! When I asked why he's only writing me up, his answer was that he "relies on me more". The next day he was late for work, due to a flat tire (which had nothing to do with me.) ~Instant karma. I asked him if he's going to write himself up for being late & quit that job shortly after.
    Long story short. Don't put diesel in a 2-stroke.

    diesel fuel is apparently 1:100 fuel to oil ratio I would like to have seen you added 2 cycle to the diesel so you wouldnt have to worry about lack of lubrication inside the engine but what I think is there is a ratio and a curve where a little diesel fuel added to the gas may give an advantage you should try one tank with 1/8 diesel 1/4 diesel and 1/2 diesel see how performance varies and add the equivelent 2 cycle to get 32:1 which is what I believe what your bike is supposed to run at

      You must mean the air/fuel ratio. (Stoichiometric ratio). Gas is about 14:1, so if he needs more air or less fuel to get 17:1, he should be running rich now. The viscosity is a factor too, but I don't know how much. The smoke does indicate a very rich mixture, with raw diesel probably blowing out of the exhaust port,---and probably soaked into his silencer packing. lol

    For a carb., the jet's needed to be resized, maybe the metering rod had to be re-located &/or replaced w/ a fatter rod(?) & the air screw needed resetting. I agree w/ a previous commenter, show the tear down & analysis of the engine. You're going to have to go through a lot of experimentation w/ jet's, rod & air screw to make this worth while. Since you're imitating the smoke from a forest fire, maybe switch to a thinner base & head gaskets to up the compression a bit but that won't be similar to a 15.0:1 static c/r. The main feature w/ Diesel is that it's much more difficult to light off from an electrical spark then what gas does. Thanks for the video.

    Your compression on a good top end will be about 180 psi. Diesel needs about 300-400 psi. The diesel will also mix with your pil in the bottom end of your motor. Striping the lubrication from the moving parts and eating some seals. It will plug up the spark arrestor as well. Flush your crankcase and neutralize it for acidity. Then replace the crank oil. Replace your spark plug and netralize the carb and the cylinder. P.s. dont do that again.. you can find fuel neutralizer at any chainsaw store. If you really want to kill your bike, put in alcohol and dont re jet the carb. It will sit and burn up the piston while warping the head and you wont be able to shut it off.

      Maybe watch some videos on how a 2 stroke engine works (small engines, not the giant V4 diesel units that power "hook and ladder trucks" and such).

    Try aviation fuel/diesel/lub oil mix and re jet to get a better fuel to air ratio. In the UK winter, buses use a aviation fuel/ diesel mix to prevent low temperature waxing of the diesel. Evaporation of fuel through the carb will lower its temperature and 'freeze' the diesel in the carb.

    Back in late Oct. of 1969 we were harvesting corn, on our way back to the field one morning there was a old Chevy pickup with a rope pulling a pretty new 69 SS Chevelle missing and sputtering up and down the road in a cloud of smoke right next to our 160 acre field. They had syphoned themselves a tank of diesel from our John Deere combine the night before, then left the hose on the ground draining out another 60 gallons of diesel . We said they could bring it to our farm 3 miles away. It destroyed the engine, plus we made them pay us for 75 gal of diesel (only 19 cents then). he apologized and thanked us.
    We felt sorry for the idiots (Eastern Mich. Univ. students) so we drained and cleaned the tank, carb and fuel system, put in some gas, but it would barely run and it only had 700 miles on it.
    He got very lucky, Chevy put in a new engine under warranty, we made a friend and his dad didn't kill him !

      If the cylinder plating is not worn out, pretty much just a piston/ring kit and top end gasket kit. Take some scotch brite pad to the plating, if the plating is good to remove the old tarnish, clean it up, and put it together. I just spray some WD40 on the piston and cylinder walls a bit for some lube for the initial start up, and to help seat the ring a bit faster. If you plating is worn out "US Chrome" in Wisconsin has replated cylinders for me, and do a excellent job. It has been a while, but the last time I had it done was about $150.00 also. This is where you are very happy,---you are not rebuilding a 4-stroke.
      I have found though summers in Michigan of riding a lot and racing, a crank lasts about 3 seasons, so measure the rod slop, (research it, and the owners manual may have it in there), while you have the cylinder off. And of course, a good practice if having the crank rebuilt, is putting all new bearings and seals in the cases.tranny. I am anal about maintenance though,--but in 10 years of racing, I never had a mechanical failure. :)

    2 stroke motors rely on high rpm and spark plugs. Diesel fuel relies on high compression ratios that cannon be achieved in 2 stroke motors, so I think the bike will stall out. Won't damage the motor because diesel is a lubricating oil by its very nature, but just won't run.
    Would be a good idea to do a series of mixtures of petrol (gas) to diesel to see if you could get a comfortable mixture! Obviously the leaner (more gas) you go the more you need to add lubricating oil to the mix.
    Diesels are designed to run on spontaneous self ignition, when the raise in temperature from compression ignites the fuel air mixture, but this is achieved in gas motors by igniting the mixture with a spark plug. If you can gat the gas to a sufficient temperature by compression, the spark plug can ignite the mixture in the same way as a gas motor. The mixture will be critical, but you could get a trade-off point where the diesel / gas mix works efficiently in a 2-stroke motor.
    My guess is that about 50:50, the bike should run OK without needing any premix. Leaner mixture (higher gas to Derv mixtures) might need some premix to lubricate the motor.

    I paused at 5:08. I think that if he warmed it up pretty good and due to the fact he still has mix in the carb to start it on, it has a chance of running ok. Prolly a slight adjust to mix and it will probably run reasonably well for a while. Will be zero throttle response but if you could get it to about 35 and cruise it could go a long way. But it would be almost impossible to start cold on diesel. I think it wont run long in any case without some kind of additional lubrication.

      It's not close to the oil content as 32:1, I run 40:1 VP 2T and that's pretty dang lean... Ktms are 60:1, diesel is the equivalent to 100:1 which is 100 parts oil to 1 part fuel, which also has cetane rather than octane. I'm surprised it had the compression and sprayed a fine enough mist of fuel to combust.
      Diesels still rely on oil for the valves and everything, just like a 4 stroke or gas powered car.. if a Diesel relied solely on it's fuel for lubrication to prevent grenading like a 2 stroke, it wouldn't work either.. in Canada during the winters I run kerosene in my heavy equipment, it's like a thin less oily Diesel, similar to fuel in helicopters/jet engines.. works great in winter, will over heat in summer if you forget to drain it.

    Frankly, I think the fact that you had some two stroke mix and then added diesel, still enabled the petrol component to initiate the spark and the moment the diesel got hot, it too ignited easier why a spark.
    However, the pure diesel showed its reluctance to combust BUT when it is hot enough it does.
    Don't try that the other way round i.e DON'T try and run a diiesel engine on petrol; that will destroy the diesel engine as it will introduce very high physical stresses by combusting far too early.

Was it enough lubrication without thr 2 stroke oil? I happen to know a two stroke is very dependent on that oil because it sucks in through the bottom of engine (crankcase) and ultimately lubricates everything in the stroke process. Critical... Are all tjr gaskets okay? Crankcase or head gasket okay? I think you could make an excellent update with s full examination of what happened in that motor even if you have to get an experienced 2stroke mechanic to lay out thr details. There are a lot of people that would love to know, see, study this because not many people are willing to experiment in this way 😉
