Default Re: diesel motor ?

Yes, a 2-stroke diesel can run in reverse. Not very well, but they can run in reverse. They may suck oil out of the pan if they do, and burn the crankcase oil. I had a customer with twin 2-stroke Perkins diesels where the port engine would fail to start, and turn back from compression and then start. He had to shut off the air supply to shut it down.
