[C320-list] Transmission Failure ?

Shawn,
I don't know anything about the Kiwi prop but it sounds like your transmission is ill.  I can't imagine anything else in the drive train that could stall the engine.

Yes its good in forward and the shifting is not hard.

Shawn,
Are you saying that it runs just fine in forward?

Last week I noticed that the engine would stall out suddenly when I shifted
into reverse.  I tried increasing the RPM's and made sure there were no
weeds wrapped on the prop but nothing worked.  I have a Perkins engine,
Hurth gearbox and a Kiwi prop that loads up pretty good in reverse.  Any
ideas?
