Bing carbs are designed to be able to change the spring from normally open
to normally closed so it's completely application dependant. You can do the
same with any carb if you change the linkage to pull to close and place the
throttle spring (normally return) on so that it pulls the throttle open.
I'll bet you didn't know that on the old 60's and 70's cars that if that
return spring broke the throttle went to wide open from the vacuum of the
engine sucking across the throttle plates.
On a side note, if you fly "standard" aircraft you already know that it's
push to accelerate. So no matter what you decide to do at least configure
your aircraft that way, because when you need it most your mind will react
that way and you may not get a chance to recover from a mistake.
