[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1109682, member: 277"] Yes, some older 2-Smoke engines can run backwards. Sometimes it is because of starter kick-back and sometimes it is timing related. A 2-stroke engine that has excessively retarded timing can run backwards on a 'normal' start. I have no experience with a pull start engine like yours, but I have seen a couple of kick start bikes run backwards. Some brands would readily run backwards if anything went wrong during the kick start. I don't think it's possible for a rotary valve 2-stroke to run backwards. Antes Edit: Post below is the same but different, between the two it's pretty well covered. [/QUOTE]
