Default RE: Reversing weedeater engine direction?

I've read up on both of those. Some people have said that the Walbro carbs aren't too happy with alcohol though. I'd rather not have to tear this thing down every season.
Is there anything wrong with keeping the stock ignition and altering the flywheel to change the timing? It's set with a woodruff key so I could mill a new slot it easily.
Hello.
IMHO It's easier to take 4 screws out and put a new 2-dollar diaphragm in carburetor then mill something down and play with timing just to find out later that you missed something and ruined the engine. OR buy a pusher prop
