Darock--I have run 4 strokes upright, sideways, inverted on 10%, 15%, 30% and 0%--it all depends on the setting of the low end and high end needles. Your flooding problems are most likely a result of tank height in relation to the carb. I agree that four stroke plugs are best and personally prefer the OS-F plug--I run them in my Saitos as well. As for starting, I have learned on two seperate occasions that if an electric starter is not used, be sure to at least use a chicken stick. I have been bit twice tring to flip an OS 91 using my finger--one time requiring stitches.

I got a chuckle out of your Jerry Springer Show comment. You are certainly correct that there are as many opinions regarding fuel, nitro, oil, synthetic vs castor, four stroke vs two stroke, wood props, fiberglass props, glowplugs, on and on and on. Best thing is find out what works for you and go with it.
