Status: offline 		If your going to mount a 2-stroke inverted, then you need to move the tank so that it's perfectly centered up on the centerline of the carb spray bar.

You don't need a pump unless you plan on mounting the tank on the CG or significantly behind the engine. If you do run a pump--then get the Cline Regulator. It's not really a pump--but rather a fuel regulator for the carb. It works very well. You'll need a 2-needle carb for the regulator. An air-bleed carb won't work with a regulator.

What you might really need for an inverted 2-stroke is an on-board glow driver. It's an electronic device that lights your glow plug at idle or slow speeds. It has it's own 1400mah nicad battery on board. You just use a Y-harness to hook it up to your throttle servo and then dial it in. Most on-board glow drivers have a dial that you can turn with a small screwdriver. This is so that you can set when you want the glow to come on--relative to throttle position.

Somebody is for sure gonnna pipe up and tell you that using an on-board glow driver is a dummies excuse for a poor tuning job. Thats BS. Sometimes--no matter what you do, a 2-stroke glow engine just won't run inverted without a glow system. It's no different than using a volt meter, or a tuned pipe. If ya need it--then ya need it.
