Hey Destry, What makes you think its trying to run backwards.?? On a 4-stroke - this is odd!! I don't think a 4 stroke will run backwards!! (But, I have actually seen a two-cycle engine run backwards.

Just retard the timing to zero). Have you changed the spark plug? Have you had the carb cleaned and set by a professional 3.

Have you put in a new air filter. Have you had the timing checked.(with a timing light) If the engine actually runs backwards it will cause engine damage. All the moving parts are designed, clearances are set, and fuel/air intake and cam timing are all designed for the engine to turn in one direction, when it does turn backwards, the valve train clearances are taken up and sometimes the valves will hit the pistons.(on a V-8 the cam chain controls all this.its 'slack' only works correctly in one direction). Please do 1 through 4 and repost with the results, Thank yoe May 26, 2017. Service manual for 3208 marine engine.
