Convert GAS Briggs V-Twin to DIESEL?

[SamB]

I wanted to CONVERT A BRIGGS TO DIESEL. I know I can just buy a Diesel engine, but I like a challenge. And remember the only dumb question is one you're too afraid to ask

This should be a nice challenge for you. You can convert the spark plug hole to an injector port. Deutz used a simple cam operated 'pump' for their injector.

Alright, I'm gonna cut the chit chat and get to the question: COULD I convert my Briggs and Stratton V-Twin (445677) to use Diesel Fuel? It seems feasible to me. Would the oem carburetor work, or would I have to somehow make it fuel-injected? I think that if I replace the spark plugs with glow plugs, maybe get oversize rings or something else to increase the compression, and probably mess with the timing a bit, it should run. Any Ideas? Any diesel techs out there? I would probably have to get billet rods too. TIA

I'm sorry but the highlighted passage above suggests this is way beyond your understanding of engines.

But it is good that you are thinking of such things. Growth doesn't come without such thinking.

If you really want diesel then search for a diesel engine to replace what you have. I don't know what is available but suspect something will fit with minimal hassle.
