The engine runs backwards :) jack up the rear end so the rear tires are off the ground and put it on jack stands. Run the cart in forward and reverse and you'll see what I mean.

Some (not all) 2 stroke motors can reverse the engine rotation for reverse operation. This is how the 2 stroke robins motors achieve reverse. You'll notice the forward/reverse shifter is electric. These wires go to the starter and make it turn the opposite direction, which turns the engine the opposite direction for reverse.

This is also what makes it difficult to install a clone or any different motor in these carts. The transmission is just a pinion and ring gear and that's basically it. The 4 stroke transmissions have forward/reverse built into them that changes the gearing with a cable or shift rod internal to the trans, since a 4 stroke cannot run in reverse.
