Marathon Runs in Forward But Not Reverse
1985 Marathon will start and run good in forward , but put it in reverse and it won't start , just turns over but never fires up . What could be the causes ? Thanks

Re: Marathon Runs in Forward But Not Reverse
Most people have the exact opposite problem.
Running in reverse, and not in forward is a sign of bad crankshaft seals. I don't know what to think about yours. I'll have to sleep on it for a while. Maybe timing, but doubtful. |

Re: Marathon Runs in Forward But Not Reverse
Don't really know alot about the cart but it has sit for a couple years before I fixed the carb issues . It is my in-laws elderly neighbors that I am fixing free of charge, the husband has cancer and they need it so he can around the property, they have had 3 people charge them over $500 total and none got it running , took me 30 minutes with the carb and it runs , but no reverse . Right now it doesn't have a choke cable but I wouldn't think that would effect it since it still runs in forward.
If you have any ideas I appreciate it . Thanks again |

Re: Marathon Runs in Forward But Not Reverse
Well it is starting fine in reverse today . I did fully charge battery last night since seems like it isn't holding a charge in the cart . Must have had something to do with that.
