Well today I primed less than usual (OS 46AX). I primed until fuel ALMOST reached the carb, then 2 or 3 flips with the stick and it started in the right direction. Clearly the problem is due to excess fuel in the cylinder causing a hydrolock that we are not able to flip through, so the engine starts backwards.
N19htmare, try priming less.
Yep, that's what I said above.
Yep, ya did. Thanks! Problem solved.
