I’ve never gone into the technicalities of it but I’ve always assumed to make a two-stroke diesel it has to be supercharged. How else can you get the primary compression? With a multi-cylinder engine crankcase compression can’t be used as it is on simple engines such as the Bantam and Villiers type.
