I have a small two-stroke 80cc engine. I'm wondering, is it possible to run it in reverse? The way i have to start the engine right now is to get the bike moving(the engine is directly connected to the wheels and it isn't a pull-start, so moving the bike is the only way to get the piston moving) and then apply the gas. So in theory, if i just cranked the engine(got the wheel moving backwards) backwards, wouldn't it start backwards?
