Place the blaster in 2nd or third gear, and push start it. That should make it crank in the right direction. Just saying

This is very puzzling to me and not the first time I've heard of it. About the only thing I can think of if the flywheel key is sheared. I've owned 250Rs for years and have never had this happen with them. Engine running backwards can only be a timing issue.
