Default RE: Inverted engines

Sig,
Thanks for the info. I am waiting for a new cowl to install the engine in its designed position (inverted). I will probably try and relocate the vertical position of the engine so that the carb will be in line +/- 1/2" of the fuel tank outlet as you suggest. I will, however, try it before I make any cutouts in the cowl. As it is presently set up with the remote fueler mouted at the bottom side of the fuse, fuel comes from the tank to the bottom of the fuse and then back up to the carb which is probably 1 to 1-1/2" below the level of the fuel tank outlet. I am currently running the engine in an upright position with no problems, but esthetically it doesn't look very nice with the cylinder projecting from the top of the cowl. Again thanks for your input.
