I doubt the stator had anything to do with it as it's just a power generating device and no timing of any sort is involved. In unusual cases, the CDI can cause a retarded spark, which could lead to reverse running (spark close to TDC), but that's pretty rare in my experience.
I'm no expert in the inner workings of the CDI system but maybe someone with a BSEE or MSEE can give us a clue as to the possibilities within the CDI or other components possibly causing the reverse running.

Thanks Jon. Do you think I could have wired anything possibly incorrect? If you wire the the stator incorrect will it generate spark? The only thing I can think of is I either wired it incorrectly or the the stator is having issues. Could I have damaged the cdi by wiring it incorrectly? The one thing I do remember while I was wiring it up for the fist time was the woodruff she was sheared off i've since purchased a new one and the reverse problem occurred after that. Thanks Amos
Been out today on my txt 280 2001 and when i stopped with the clutch pulled in it went into reverse gear???
The only way to get it going forward was to kill the engine and kick it over again and then it was fine for a while but just now and again if i stopped with the clutch pulled in,it went into reverse again.
Any idea's please as i'm a bit worried!!
Cheers Steve
Hello Steve. I am having the same problem with 2002 txt pro. I damaged my stator had it repaired wired everything back together took it for a ride, everything ran great, stopped to talk with a friend started it back up and low and behold I took off on reverse. I have checked my woodruff key and it is in good condition. I called a shop and they said it was probably my stator causing it to spark at the improper time. I have yet to check the ohms values to make sure they in in spec but I thought the voltage regulator controlled the output of the spark. If you find out anything will you please let me know and I will do like wise for you. Thanks Amos
