86 par car not running in forward
1986 par car with the two stroke harley engine. I did replace the carb and replaced the coil. I did an ignition module check and it actually tested bad. It wouldnt run in forward except a hit or two every so often. Tried it in reverse and was rough then cleared out and almost ran it off the trailer its on. So the ignition isnt bad I guess. Was told when bought the micro switch is bad but if it runs in reverse then it must be good right? Could problem it be in the key
switch? Maybe reverse wires from F to R? |

Re: 86 par car not running in forward
Yep, you want to reverse the small wires at the key switch. When looking at the back of the switch, you will see three small wires at the top. If memory serves me correctly, the one on the left is F, the one in the middle is R, and the remaining one is for the reverse buzzer and can be ignored. All the same, flip the F and R wires and see what you got. You can't hurt anything if you get it wrong as its on F, R and buzzer.

Re: 86 par car not running in forward
Swapped wires last night and cart starts and runs in reverse but wont start in forward. it tries to start but backfires. It sounds like timing off in forward but not in reverse

I thought I had removed the governor cable but after reading some service manual it was the oil injection cable. Engine still smokes. looks like i could just set for amount and leave it or just premix.

Re: 86 par car not running in forward
Got it. The top ends of those motors are very easy to repair. You can get an entire top end kit that contains a new cylinder / piston and all of the fixins for $200 or so. The job itself takes less then an hour and doesn't take any crazy about of skill. Just something to think about.
