I am curious about how easy this engine will be to hand start with an inverted mount. All of my inverted glow engine were impossible to get primed without a starter.
Since it shows a choke and it has a diaphragm carp inverted starting shouldn't be a problem. All of my twin cylinders have th carb hanging straight down and show no difficulty in hand starting.
given the price of the thing, I would go ahead and by another Taurus if I am going to spend that amount of money for a 50cc class engine.
The potential starting problem that I see in the rotary valve induction. They have much lower vacuum signal than reed or piston port inductions. ZDZs were not the easiest starters and their carbs are horizontal. We will find out soon enough.
