dirtyernie52 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 i had a sled that sometimes did that. turned out to be a dissinigrated keyway in the magneto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee4Drag Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 LMAO.... Ok this is great a banshee starting and going backwards....LMAO...the funny thing here is that my banshee did the same thing and noone in town would belive me....BIGWILL the reason a banshee run backwards is ONLY from back fire.....the motor has to be back fireing bad when you kick it, the crank can turn backwards and fire, which makes the the bike start but you have reverse... now there are few things that will do this MAJOR reason is the flywheel not on correct.. Buy a new key for 4 bucks, and make sure it lines with the key way in the fly wheel...Im willing to bet this is the problem...there are 2 others that can cause it to happen every now and then...But the flywheel missalligned is the problem with yours...

djackbanshee Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 yeah thats funny I had a sled that did thats, i had fooled around with the timing and the engine started up on the wrong side. I can tell you when i cranked it the rope went back in faster than it came out and the handle broke a flew around 50 feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipebomb Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 that kicks ass! I've only seen that kinda thing 2x. one was an old desiel dump truck and the other was an ATC250R that the dude totally screwed the timing up on. kicked back like a mule and no forward gears but went like hell in reverse.

fast500#12 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 on an old detroit (2 stroke) diesel if you lug it to the point of almost dieing and push in the clutch and save it, some times it will start to run backwards.

alcoholbanshee Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 This used to be fairly common with the fastline ignition for the banshee. Usually takes out the kicker gear and clutch cover when it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
