Well it sounds like you’re forward RELAY is bad or it’s the f&r switch. The best way to test it is by using a volt meter, when the switch is on reverse you will see voltage in one RELAY and the other will be dead. Now switch to forward and test the other relay if u only get the voltage going in to the RELAY and not going out (or u don’t get the proper reading) to the starter/generator u know it’s the RELAY if u dont get any reading going in to the relay at all then its the f&r switch. The g1 is a two stroke and when u change directions the engine spins in the other directions. (That’s how I think it works I never actually checked it) and that is why it only works in reverse not forward.
