Direct Injection Gas Engines
With the trend to direct injection gas engines what happens going down a hill on compression. Diesel engines without intake butterflies have little hold back on compression, so I assume that gassers w...

And the myth goes on, and on, and on. Maybe someone can explain why gas engines use one battery and a smaller starter then diesels which use larger or multiple batteries and larger starters to turn the engine yet gas engines have a throttle plate which supposedly causes engine braking and diesels use no throttle plate for little engine braking. In the carbed engines of the past which way did the engine turn faster with the starter, gas peddle against the floor or off?
Fortunately the engineers haven't bought the myth and their published engineering data still rules which is why diesels still have much more battery power then gas engines. Isn't the internet great? Myths and all!
Maybe to compress the first cylinder coming up on compression? After that one it is a piece of cake! And to get the larger mass spinning! Ha! Ha!
