Hi,
 I have several engines timing set past top dead center run opposite. Changing timing before or after can allow a single cylinder engine to run either direction. Timing at exact TDC  might allow an engine to run in both directions.

bonjour raphael
tu as de la chance, mon moteur a été retourné en chine  .............. le problème est la poste française, ils ne m'ont  jamais contacter par mail ou téléphone pour leurs soi-disant passage pour livraison.
je suis très très en colère avec collissimo international.
tous est a refaire, sinon je demande le remboursement par paypall

hello raphael
you're lucky, my engine has been returned to China .............. the problem is the French Post, they never contact me by mail or phone for their so-called passage for delivery.
I am very very angry with collissimo international.
all is to redo, otherwise I ask for the refund by paypall

Bonjour,

Addition : about my engine running in the opposite side, I also moved the big pinion that is behind the cam and not checked if it had a precise position with respect to said cam. I guess it is the answer to this mystery.
If Jin reads this message, perhaps he will confirm and indicate how to position the big pinion regarding a top dead point.
