I believe you will find this is the case with nearly all carts. The gear ratio is lower in reverse, so it won't go as fast backwards. And, going along with slower would naturally be stronger. (Just like putting a 4 speed in a lower gear) Yes, that is a normal drawback of bigger tires with a stock engine. I have a 92 CC & I run straight 30 weight oil in the summer, and my garage is heated, so I can get away with the same in the winter. If your cart sits in the cold in the winter, you might want to go to a 10-40 in the winter. as far as the plug goes, you better double check a book or get some other input. I "think" it is the same as mine and I think mine is currently running an Autolite #64 and I think the gap is .028 or .030, but check to be sure.
