Are the standard gas tanks that come on HT engines "gravity fed" or does the engine draw the fuel from the tank?

I ask because one of the locations on my fram I may use would place the tank below the carb. Will this work?

Thanks

Standard HT engine is gravity fed so you'll need a diaphram carb if your going to locate the tank anywhere near carb level(or below)
Do a Search Joe.
 
Thanks for the reply.

I must apologize, but I was a bit offended by your "do a search" comment.

I have been posting to forums for 20 years. I know how to do it. I simply couldn't find the answer. Perhaps I searched the wrong place or asked the wrong question.

Thank you again.

The "do a search" comment was related to u searching HT engine configurations that have been successfually swapped-over to a diaphram carb......heaps of diaphram carb threads but very little on 2-stroke HT's with tank below(or anywhere near below) carb level.
Walbro carb would be your best bet,NOT these:

PS....PM Jerry(The Scooter Guy)....he's on this forum & he's messed around a great deal with diaphram carbs.

Thanks for clearing that up. Again, I apologize.

I think I am going with the rear mount. I'll post some picks when I get the beat together.
