barcota Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 The problem with the old Bultacos running backwards was due to the timing being set wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalshell Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 if i remember from acouple of earlier threads it sounds like a key on the crank has sheared and the timing has slipped.. good luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hi,try looking this topic in the sherco forum,it was definitely posted and discussed earlier this year.I think the outcome was a new stator if my memory serves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud plark Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 It happened to me, as well as slightly bending the kick start. Played around with the stator but that didn't cure the problem. Woodruff key was ok as everything else. So I put a new stator in. That fixed it.
