Default 3w 106 runs backwards

The last flight the other day it quit . Got it out today cranked rite up ran for a minute and quit . Me and my buddys flipped on it for a while it never fired . Left it alone for a while tryed again finally got it to fire then it would only run backwards and cut off . Took the cowl off pulled the plugs to see if it fired correctly when i flipped it sparked and had a constant spark that never quit does this sound rite . Any info is well appeciated .

Thanks William

I dont know why it is running backwards. But if it runs good backwards just trun the prop around.

I have run several 3W engines and have experience with the standard 106 and the QS series ..NONE OF THEM HAVE ISSUES WITH STARTUP!!!
Are you running a 5 cell pack??
Try eliminating the switch...for the ground run up...
Still have problems???
Change out the Pick up...
Still have problems???
The ign. may have problems...
The 3W engines are warrenteed for 3 years...send it back and have them look at it...include EVERYTHING when returning..
