Are you adding exhaust gas behind the fuel inlet? SO that you're not adding fuel for the exhaust flow... I presume you're just using a carb with no throttle plate, right, to keep the venturi effect?
I was thinking about doing this, but making a diesel engine out of a small gas engine... no throttle, and using a fuel pump, upping the compression to some sick amount, and putting a fuel injector in place of the spark plug, with a heater plug in the intake stream.
I haven't gotten around to it yet, partly b/c of lack of funds, parts, ambition, what have you.
Looking forward to your reply, and updates to this thread on the OP's project as well.
