gr8johnson3,
I'm new to this hobby, but grabbing the spinner does not sound like fun

. MY OS 61FX tended to run backwards when I started breaking it in. So I asked (in this forum) how to fix it. I got some advice that said I was over choking the engine or priming too much fuel into the carb before I started the engine. It appears I was overchoking, so I just bring my throttle up a few clicks past idle and it starts like a dream. Now one time when it started backwards it must have backfired or glitched and it immediatly started running correctly without even missing a beat (real wierd).
(Watch those fingers!)
