Ok, so i have some trouble with my engine. Everything has been running fine, but have been having alittle trouble with my engine lately. Its some cheap china rip-off of O.S. but its called S.C.

.36 sized engine and still breaking in. Usually it will fire up nicely and be spinning in the right direction. But lately for some stupid reason, the engine will fire in the WRONG direction causing everything to spin in the wrong direction. Blades, tail and paddles all reversed. The engine sounds really really noisy and it making a terrible clicking/ticking noise. When i have the engine off, and spin it by hand, i can hear the noise every compression stroke. Something is not right. At first, I though it might be too rich, as with my plane engines...I would start the RIGHT way but if too rich or too cold the engine would kick in reverse and I may have to give it some gas or lean it out so it would kick-in the right way.

Im just hoping this is the issue because I can see its spitting too much excess fuel. Even with leaning her out it will still start in reverse. Ive checked the starter motor and that is defiently starting the right way. Tried new fuel, still nothing. Leaning out does nothing. Yet to try a new plug but how could that do anything?

Im running the engine on a Caliber .30 the engine will only set one way and if everything fits and screws on one way, then there must be an issue with the engine or something. I think the engine is running in reverse because when I was feeling to see if it was getting cooled by the fan, the air felt very weak (as in the fan was running backwards and not blowing the correct way). This has never happened before so I'm looking for ideas...

Getting some cash together and will be buying a new engine soon. Possibly an O.S 32 or 37

THANKS for ya help!!!
