yamaha in reverse
I have a 1978 EX 440 snowmobile motor is it possible to make it run Backwards because I plan to put it in a 79 g1 gas golf cart with no reverse in the rear end....... use the stock G 1 exhaust or should I run an expansion chamber..... Any advice on this to swap would be greatly appreciated I'm also going to lift it and put 27 inch t on it Greg

Re: yamaha in reverse
It is possible to run a two stroke backwards, however, the electronic ignition will have to be modified to make that happen. Some snowmobile engines actually ran in reverse, as well as the G1 engine, so you might be able to find parts or even an engine that will do that.
Another route is to change the rear axle, which is more common. You can use a G2 axle or any axle out of a 4 stroke cart if you can weld and fabricate. Some find this option more manageable. |

Re: yamaha in reverse
Any 2 stroke will long as the ignition changes the timing and a starter can spin it that way. The skidoo does not even have a starter it changes direction while running.
