Was there a silver round disc overhead then disappear abruptly?
Sorry Dave couldn't resist!
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Sorry Dave couldn't resist! Ha ha, Larry I guess we think alike. My first question was what was in his thermos! Strange deal for sure, and one I've never heard of before. I could understand if it had the electronic reverse, but it doesnt.

Pretty common issue as far as I’ve seen. Not sure what causes it though. Tell him to stick with the exact recommended oil. Hard to believe but those motors use Teflon bearing cages in the crank

That’s funny Pete that’s what she said about you! Lol
Sorry Pete in my old age I got confused. It was your old partner that when he bought his 1 st sled with reverse he ran his line in reverse!

Huh, I've known of engines to start up running backwards, but never to switch from running forwards to running backwards while already running and actually driving. Not without an electronic reverse switch to foul up. That is strange, and rather worrisome if you are out by yourself. When he shut it off and restarted it did it run the right direction or would it still fire up running backwards? Yea he did get it home finally.
