the reverse is probably caused by a maladjustment on the shift linkage.
if the recoil doesnt turn the flywheel i would take the recoil housing off and see what is stuck shut on the recoil part or if the basket or cogs are still on the fly wheel.

Unplug the reverse limiter wire.Should be under the hood and has 3 wires.I think it is a black wire just unplug it.Or you can get a new Rev box they run in the $70 range

Clean and rebuild the carb I lost reverse and got it back by doing that.
