goes backwards

[lazar40]

When I put my blaster in gear it goes backwards WTF? HELP! I searched and sum guys said the woodruff key is sheared im not sure how that can make the bike go backwards? Im not sure about these blasters

 

[scotj77]

you have a sheared woodruff key on your flywheel

 

[Zwiser]

your timing plate could be moved to much or you have a extermly rare blaster that only goes backwards lol, this prob pops up here somtimes and always gets fixed so dont worry

A 2 stroke engine only has two strokes, up and down. No matter which way the crankshaft is turning the piston goes up and down just the same. The only thing that determines which way the engine runs is the starter and ignition system. If the ignition system is messed up, the kick starter pushes the engine the correct way but as soon as it pops over and "starts" the engine begins to turn backwards.

deffinatley a sheared key

you have a 99 percent chance that it is the woodruff key on the flywheel. supper cheap part and the flywheel puller is about 10 to 15 bucks. you have to have the flywheel puller to take it off.

A buddy has this same issue with an old 70's model 185cc street/trail in fact that's why he got it so cheap.but yes as said its a woodruff key.

Oh what i would give for a blaster 6 spd w/reverse

 

[scotj77]

that would be awsome blasterhoss but a six speed in reverse blasty would suck ass!

my john deere ride on mower will kick backwards.
if i shut it off with the throttle closed, it will diesel, and re start backwards.

also have had it happen on chainsaws and trimmers, also an 88 banshee we had

You should take a vid of you bangin gears in reverse.....

 

[scotj77]

Oh what i would give for a blaster 6 spd w/reverse

wouldnt we all!! but its a woodruff key I just fixed this on a buddies bike last year

 

[blasterfreek30]

also more than likely the kick start gear is prolly destroyed when the engine cranked the wrong way when it couldnt disengage

 

[super noober]

You should take a vid of you bangin gears in reverse.....

[blasterdemon7]

[Whitty21]

Interestingly, I just read the other day that the 03+ cdi uses the stator source coil to detect if the motor is running backwards. I assume it won't let it do that.

 

[Whitty21]

/\/\ hmmmm. i cant remember if all the backwards quads were pre 03 or not...

my woodruff key sheared off climbing a big gravel hill and i ended up having to drive my blaster back to the truck in reverse. my local shop gave me a new key for free i think the key was for an mxz . the key is a half moon shape and i believe it is 12mm long and 3mm wide bring your flywheel for reference
