Yes I have, it's what happens when you store them in the same box with Cox reed valve .049s. Not really, just a little over primed, not to worry.  8)

The 2 that I have in R/C use and the C/L conversion from R/C( 3 engines) will run backwards all day at low RPM throttle setting. Usually can reverse the run by grabbing spinner and releasing quickly would kick them back the right way.
I find that the C/L conversion with restrictor will run backwards from back flip sometimes will die sometime will pop and run forward and some times have to stop it manually.

These engines will almost always start first forward flip if it will bump on a pull through.
Unless your finger is slow they don't bite.
Use wood prop at least until it is sorted.
