anyone have any idea why my blast when i put it in gear it drives backward and will not go forward. it will go threw all the gears like normal but in reverse and i know there isn't a reverse on it. anyone have any ideas?
 
yeah, your flywheels rotate and its firing wrong. take it off and get a new woodruff key, unless you just forgot to put it in after reinstalling it.
 
Well I love hearing the backwards story.Heres the deal It is either a sheared wood ruff key,flywheel was not put on tight enough,timing is off.I would start with the woodruff key(Small piece that locks flywheel in place before tightening)and use an impact gun on the flywheel nut.Thats most likely will fix the problem.If not the timing is way off.Let us know how you make out.
 
The engine is running backwards. A 2 stroke doesnt care whitch way it spins. you have to rotate the crank in the opposite of normal to start it running this way though. So how does it happen...
 
2 stroke quads are the only ones that can have 6 speed reverse lol. It wont hurt anything if you premix, the injection wont pump backwards though. Either timing issue or somehow your kick start is malfunctioning.
 
I think that in some situations, it will auto reverse on ignition. I know model aircraft engines will sometimes start perfectly if you give them a backwards flick. Sounds cool though, I would love to see a Blaster running through the gears backwards :D
 
it happen to me 2 times it was the key on the flywheel... just go to a hardware store its like $0.34. the reason the key shears off is the nut isn't torqued down properly

or like someone else said your stator place could have moved.

p.s im drunk so if i miss spelled anything feel free to let me know.

my old moto4 250 could go 5 gears in reverse lol. its a 4 stroke but the reverse system was weird. if i put the reverse/high/low shifter in between reverse and high i could shift going in reverse. i know it wasnt good for it but it was my beater lol.
 
im an ass. a buddy of mine was telling me a story about this happening to him when he stalled on a hill climb and i told him he was full of sh*t lol guess i should give him a call lol i was kinda a dick about it.
