backwards rotation

Turn over and just as the motor starts to feel as though it is going to start, it kicks back the opposite direction!!! Haven't had this problem before.. HELP!

Is it blown and is catching on to something?

Try turning it with a ratchet backwards a couple of turns.

What happened prior to this?

If it will turn more than three shaft rotations by hand without slamming to a halt, your timing is radically incorrect, firing far too early.

Pulled dizzy and moved it a quarter of a turn. Then it fired right up! I guess when I put the pully back on, I put it on wrong. So the TDC wasn't TDC after all...lol Anyway it lives! Just needs to be tuned on a little. Should be fine till the big motor goes in. Thx!
