Be careful with the electric starter after using lots of after run oil in a 2-stroke. You can hydraulic lock the top end and bend or break the rod/crankpin easily. A short blip will do it, and even then you will notice the compression has increased drastically on an upright engine. Inverted would be even worse I imagine.
