yeah really... i was gonna tell him to look for a timing mark on the flywheel, too...

 

damn it i wish he would just pull the rope i wanna know if it started it should if it doesnt have too much advance

 

pull it



pullll iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt

 

hookers on the way home with dinner... i will be back in a few Roger... gotta shower

 

I know how to work on engines and stuff. But my experience with 2-strokes specifically is lacking. I know what a flywheel and points are and all that stuff.

This engine does have points, it came off a fairly old push-blower. Nothing advanced. Just the engine, carb, and gas tank.

 

I had originally figured that I could just flip the pull rope, and yank it, but got to lazy to go pop the rivets holding the cover over the pullstarter.

So I'm just asking here first so I can know what needs to be done to make it run backwards well.

EDIT: Alright I'll go down and flip the rope and yank it. I'll keep this posted.

 

the pull start isnt gonna work backwards i bet because of the clutch or sprag............over two hours since his last post..lol

 

on skidoo snowmobiles that is how reverse works you push the button and it shuts it off and it restarts backwords

 

I always wanted to start a dirt bike up backwords but never tryed it

 

I once saw an old Maico dirtbike start backwards

 

There's no clutch.

I'm telling you guys, this is literally just THE engine I bolted to a bench. It's got a carb sticking out of it with a tank I hung above it. I cut the exhaust so it's basically straight out the block. (Yes I know 2-strokes don't run as good this way) It runs perfect in its normal direction.

 

did you start it backwards yet ............

and i meant the pull start clutch or sprag its designed to work in one direction

 

Very mechanically inclined Mr. Roger

 

i had an 83 rm125 that started backwards one time after i dumped it and i revved it up thinking that it was loaded up from being upside down... it ran like **** but it was running backwards..

 

I knew a guy that crashed when his old peace of **** 2 stroke moped randomly started going backwards when he realesed the clutch I wish someone would film it I heard that on some oooold bikes u can just simply push start it, but when ur pushing the bike backwards...good luck
