"I have a 1986 Suzuki DT140 that isn't going into reverse as it should. Forward works as it should. I move the throttle forward an inch or so, there's a short grind, and then it slips into gear at an idle speed.
However, when I try to go into reverse, I have to pull the throttle 3/4 of the way back before anything happens. (and it is hard to pull back!) At this point the throttle quickly revs up, the gears start grinding, and the prop starts turning.
What typically causes this problem?
Thanks!
