Default Reverse Rotation?

The pull cord is on the flywheel side and the rotation is clockwise. As I mentioned, the work shaft is on the opposite side of the engine and this would work with a prop hub attached (correct rotation). The problem would be that the flywheel would be at the back of the engine. It has a walboro carb.

Other than changing the spark timing do you think that would be any other issues with running in reverse? I don't know too much about engine design!

Any thoughts on a prop for this thing and what RPM I might expect? It won't be a major powerhouse but I have a project in mind for it. Any engine hop-ups recommended?
