Jerry,
I do not believe I can control the direction of the engine as the sequencing is automatic. I can I believe try changing one of the setting easily as its an A -Unit which might accomplish this. Knowing now it is out of warranty I have more courage to take the shell off, but in trying this earlier I easily removed one screw but couldn't easily remove any of the other three. They are very deep and tiny, tiny screws, and didn't want to strip as it seemed I might be doing. I will retry later this evening. I will also try moving what I assume is the flywheel more to confirm the wheels are not moving. Thanks. Mike
