You can turn the feature Off by setting a jumper???
BTW
It is not a bad habot to set the prop in bottom position when the plane is idle. For inverted engines, it has the advantage, that the carb will not pump when moving the prop a little. If you bump the prop to compression to and fro, it will activate the carb and get some mixture pumped into the engine, so you do not neet the choke to start first flip.
