Actually, now I remember, Mitsubishi spent squillions across the turn of the century on a rotary diesel for light aircraft and eventually gave up. Not sure what the problem was. They used another name for the company (so it didn't seem like a Mitsubishi failing).
Maybe it wouldn't run lean, don't know. Nice idea though.
