Here is a question for you

Off topic #3,
A Kubota B2910 diesel will also run backwards if you lug it up a hill, stall it, as it backs down the slope, then will run backwards.

I wanna see a tractor trailer with a Detroit 16V71 stall on a steep grade, then start back up again backwards and runaway down the hill.

Preferably with a trailer slam-full-up with ping pong balls!

I think so. I've seen a 2-stroke dirt bike run backwards.........


Wolfie beat me to it!

Growing up a kid stalled one going up a steep hillclimb, it rolled backwards, and started

Snowmobiles have a reverse where by electronics force the engine to go from forward to reverse without shutting off.

@ Hans:
I'd pay good money to see that 16V71 do just that. Maybe throw in a skid of bananas?
