Default Re: Yamaha G9E Faster in Reverse than Forward

Ok, I think I figured it out.... I called everywhere and I thought it may be a brush issue, every shop I talked to said " it cant be the brushes or it would be bad both directions"

Well, I tore down the motor and OMG the brushes looked like alligator teeth...

So, I called around and everyone wanted $150 to put it in a lathe and true the commentator.... The cheap (B) I am I just took a file and rolled the motor on a towel until it was true. "ALMOST ANYWAY"

cleaned up the brushes and replaced it... It was better but still faster in reverse sooo... I took the Dang rear end out and turned it around.

Now it hauls butt in forward and not so fast in reverse....

The Kicker is it seems the more I drive it forward (in reverse) The better the backing up speed gets. The brushes must be wearing in to the clean commentator.

Ill run it like this till reverse (FORWARD) catches up to my now Forward speed then change the axle back around...

(now Im new here so if anyone wonders where i GET MY SCREEN NAME ) Read above!!!
