Default moki on crank pressure?

I have a moki 2.1 that I'm running with a cline regulator. The tank is up next to the motor so I don't have a fuel draw problem but I do have starting issues with the cline to the point that in competitions I go past my alloted time to get in the air. I'm going to remove the regulator but was curious if any one had run the crank pressure into the tank instead of muffler pressure. This would be much easier to convert and I wouldn't have to remove the motor to cork the backplate hole left from the pressure nipple. I'm guessing it's too much pressure into the tank but I thought I'd ask. Jim p.s., motor is inverted by the way and it's a scale airplane that I don't really want to risk flipping it over to start it.
