RE: Inverted OS .46 Floods
UVery difficult to 'flood' an inverted engine...the fuel just drips out of the carb, unless you actually choke the thing, and rotate the prop the fuel cannot get into the engine. So the problem then is just the fuel dripping out of the carb. Most upright engines don't do that, so the problem is simply the tank position. And yet the tank should be in the usual place...that is, centre line of the tank about the level of the needle valve, as always. Unless you get the tank in that position, then as suggested, to stop the fuel leaking out then simply close off the fuel line, or, close off the vent. Either way will prevent fuel leaving the tank. My problems with inverted engines has always been the idle...can't get my inverted engines to idle anything like upright...they always load up and put the fire out...so I just accept higher idle speeds for inverted engines...FWIW.
