Hello Andrew. Thanks for that. Dawned on me later...and away from the machine that that might work. I was concerned it might fire too late...or early πŸ˜‰

.......................as it transpires not so.

l understand that my dozer is made up of many many others but heres what i found, switching the wires is NOT the same as rotating it 180.

One setting my pony would backfire as never before (and trust me, the many ways this thing can run improperly im very familiar withπŸ˜‰ , switch the wires and it would and fire at a point where it felt like it wanted to change direction.

Remove mag rotate 180 replace.

Totally different feel, one way mild back fire, other way running as it should.

So before wasting half a day pulling stuff apart an putting it back endlessly you may want to try rotating the mag 180!

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
