Bonjur Jin,
Another very nice engine indeed, but are you sure it is a diesel ? I would think it is another 4 stroke engine because a diesel has no spark plug, it has a pre heater fuel then works on compression.

Is that a spark plug, or a glow plug perhaps, as is used on four stroke RC airplane engines? Still a four stroke, but once running, fires on compression heat as any diesel?
