RE: engine problem

on my RC controller i have a little switch that says "rev" for reverse...does your controller have the same thing? if it does switch it to the other side...thats the only thing i can think of doing...

im guessing he means that the engine is actually spinning backwards.

RE: engine problem

how i start it is, first i take the plug out flip the car over and spin the engine over to get after run oil out. then i put the plug back in with the washer, then i pump fuel into the carb and put the glow plug heater on. then i just pull the pull start and if it dont start i put my ginger on the exhaust tip

hmm, thats weird then that it would run backwards. your truck doesnt have reverse right? or does it? have you taken the pull start off lately?

RE: engine problem

no, i doesnt have reverse, the last time i ran the truck was about 2 weeks ago was the last time i took the pull start of cuz the one-way bearing was slipping because it got oil into it

theres your problem, you must have the one way bearing and pull start backwards or something.

RE: engine problem

Ericheller is right. Put the one way bearing back in the pull start or buy another one and it should be fixed
