RE: 2 Stroke V. 4 Stroke
Two strokes are really not problematic either when inverted.
The biggest issue is that fuel will pool in the glow element area, preventing it from igniting the fuel mixture.... particularly at first when the engine is not fully tuned.
I end up using longer plugs on all my inverted two strokers to keep the glow element out of the fuel. This seems to help as I run most of my engines inverted.
