[AT] fuel system question

Yeah right.  I don't doubt Wikipedia says that but I've seen my tractors 
flooded enough to know that isn't right.

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?
