All 2 strokes are not designed alike. The term "2stroke" refers to how
often the piston goes up/down per power stroke. Not how air or fuel is
fed to the cylinder. The crankcase of you little diesel 2 stroke is
designed like an outboard. A DD crankcase is designed like your
automobile engine's (assuming it's a 4 stroke).
A DD 2 stroke can't run without a blower.

I realize that on DD's. But the statement was all 2 stroke diesels required
a blower.

Fair 'nuff. Missed that.
I thought we were referring to DDs.
Should'a been all 2 stroke diesels require a mechanism to pump air
into the cylinder. Blower or crankcase, depending on the design.
