Default RE: 40cc~50cc 4 stroke out?

Unfortunately the Honda 50cc 4 stroke doesn't appear to have an all-orientation lubrication system like the GX25 and GX35. It's just a straight sump arrangement. Apart from the Stihl 64cc, Shindaiwa make an 80cc four-stroke using their C4 technology that works similar to the Stihl 4-mix. It's used in their high-end backpack blower that costs around $450 to $500 in the US and £450 in the UK. There is an animation of C4 engines at the following site:

I've been toying with the idea of getting a Shindaiwa blower for use as a blower - at least for a couple of years - who knows what might happen during that period that makes me take it apart and do something else with the engine!
