Default RE: Running out of fuel on down lines.

Going down-hill at full throttle will just give you a dead-stick.
Not necessarily, if going fast enough the windspeed may keep the prop turning, the compression may be enough to keep the plug lit, especially with a two stroke which will get fresh air through the exhaust port. Though I doubt this would keep it running for more than a fraction of a second or so.
