Default RE: 4 stroke tuneing/break in

well i tried to get it going today.
after about 30 min of flipping (fuel wouldnt go into the carb when primed, would just fall out onto the floor)
so i decided to flip the engine upside down to prime it. i got it to run, backwards, twice, each for prob 5 seconds before it sputtered to a stop
i think the fuel tank is a little to low, and my fuel lines are at a strange angle (look at included pic, tank about 3 in from motor, carb is a little below the top of the tank)

should i flip the engine over and try again, or could i just get a spinner and use my starter to get it going?
also could i flip the engine backwards to get it to start going in the right direction, like i do on my 2 stroke engines?
