Turn the plan over and the engine works like a charm. Any help with an inverted evo engine.
Yes, mount it upright

I dont understand why everyone wants to mount thier engines inverted [:'(]... You are more likely to have problems with flooding, and with drowning the glow plug [sm=drowning.gif], and much more likely to damage it in a crash or even a simple nose over. I mount all my engines right side up

Why doesn't my engine "drown" when I'm performing lots of inverted flat spins?

Most inverted engine problems can be traced to poor handling and poor fuel tank placement.

I like to run my engines on their sides or upright. I don't enjoy the special rituals that are necessary to start an inverted two-stroke (handling).

The makers of modern ARFs have learned the secret to selling product - make the model look good no matter how well it performs. And we keep buying them and *****ing about them. <G>
