here is a (bad, apologies in advance) photo of the JLO engine, the engine itself is interesting The engine is a single cylinder 2 stroke, air cooled diesel, Type DL425 8,00hp at 3000 rpm, Engine number 2051019? The number cast into the alloy cylinder head is 425 07 101 – 10 A, it has an electric start, with a glow plug to aid starting. It has an interesting lubrication system, the oil is held in a separate tank next to the diesel fuel tank then pumped to the crank shaft bearings before running into the crankcase where it is scavenged by the incoming air and burned with the injected diesel fuel.

very interesting article about E10, I’ve a couple of single cylinder petrol engines, one driving a compressor and one a generator, until rercently they have both started first or second pull and then ran without problems. The last couple of times I’ve gone to start them, they only started after a struggle and then ran roughly. I’ll be honest I can’t remember what petrol I used but after reading the article I’m wondering if it was E10?
