cutting shoestring cowl
I've run several 4-strokers inverted w/out any problems. The experts say thats because the plug is offset in the head - not right at the "bottom" like most 2-stroke engines, the plug is less likely to fowl due to fuel/oil accumulating there.
Just test flew my Bucker Jungmann last weekend w/ an inverted Saito 150 and it ran/idled just fine.
