Wikipedia apparently hasn't owned an IH tractor. ;-)

According to Wikipedia (everyone's on-line Bible) it is impossible to make an engine flood when it is running with an updraft carburetor.

What is the reason most tractors and industrial engines use updraft 
carburetors?  Some early inline automobile engines used updraft but they 
switched to downdraft eventually.  Most aircraft engines use updraft.  
Any ideas?  Maybe gravity fuel systems?
