When unit is warm from being used, it always stalls when reverse is selected

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
May 8, 2025

The TUG Technologies 660 unit could stall when reverse is selected after being used if the Neutral Safety Start Switch or the Anti-Restart Ignition Switch is not functioning correctly. The Neutral Safety Start Switch only allows the starter to engage when the shifter is in NEUTRAL. If the switch fails or malfunctions, it might disrupt engine operation when shifting to reverse. Additionally, if the Anti-Restart Ignition Switch does not properly detect engine status, it could prevent proper engagement or cause stalling when shifting gears.
