...not sure..
« on: January 16, 2012, 04:19:02 PM »
  About where I read that a c*x baby b could made to run inverted by looping a piece of fuel tubing from one vent, around the tank to the other vent.
  Is this the way to do it? If not how do you do it?

Works with a slit in the tube so it vents when the engine is inverted.

Also much easier to just remove the 4 backplate screws, rotate the crankcase/cylinder 180 then put the screws back in.

Of course you can only do this with a Babe Bee that has a metal backplate with two fill nipples. Later engines had a metal backplate with one fill tube and a vent hole. Then Cox switched to a plastic backplate with one fill tube and a vent hole.

For the ones with the vent hole, you can cap the fill tube. Very little, if any, fuel will leak out of the vent hole because air is coming in.
