[QUOTE="MrTotty, post: 327235, member: 2763"] Does it shut off or die? I am assuming it's not a tiller. Could it be a short in the control box (if it is shutting down and not stalling)? The throttle linkages work the same way in forward and reverse, so reverse should not make any difference. Also check the wiring on the motor around the shift linkages to make sure you are not having a short from that side as well (much easier than taking apart the control box). You can also pull the cowl off the motor and manually work the throttle while in reverse to see if the problem persist. [/QUOTE]
