I have actually seen someone's engine start backwards, and they didn't notice. They put it on the ground, hit the throttle and the car drove backwards. It IS very possible to do.
yes they can go backwards. i saw a guy racing arfound the 4 min. mark he hit this big jump hit the throttle and the car went straight backwards... when he landed the engine was rich enough and hit a rock just right and on a top dead center and bam running backwards. if a starter box runs the wrong way and you can get it to take fuel it bumps over the correct way if you get top dead center. jeremy
