Default RE: Engine upside down?

Fuel is drawn into the carb due to the vacuum created inside the engine. However, in your setup with the tank above the carb, the engine has an easier time drawing fuel. When the plane is inverted, the tank will be well below the carb and lean out - possibly dying. you could use pump to make the flow more consistent.
