Default How to start an engine which is in reverse position?

Hello, I would like to know how do you start an engine which is in reverse position like on the Concept mecanics?

Thanks.

Hi!!

Do you you mean when the engine is mounted inverted(upside down)??
If that is the case, you must be carefull not to flood the engine. Applying the starter to a flooded inverted engine could result in serious internal damage.

When I start mine I don`t prime the engine at all and just open the throttle to just a little over idlespeed.
With the glowstarter attached I crank the engine while blocking the exhaustpipe for 1-2 seconds. It will usually start after a few seconds.

Hope this helps!

Flyby
