Default Ack! Engine running BACKWARDS!

Happened to me, too, with a 46fx. Someone at the field said it was because I was priming the engine too much before starting it - i.e. turning it over too often with the carb full open before almost closing the carb and then applying the glow clip. So I now prime it less than before and it seems to be OK - the running backwards now only happens very occasionally.

Works for me!
