Default G16 turns over but won't run

I acquired a 1996 G16 gas golf cart that I'm up for my wife to drive. It ran when it last parked many years ago. I have replaced battery, starter, solenoid, carb, fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, etc. I have compression, good spark and it's pumping fuel. It turns over but will not catch and run. I have checked the fuse as well. What could the problem be? The starter is rotating clockwise. Another thing that has me stumped is the exhaust is sucking air in and blowing it up and out of the air filter box.

If the starter is rotating clockwise, that's the wrong direction. Did you remove and replace the starter/gen? It sounds like it's hooked up backwards. 12v motors will run either direction, but yours should run counter clockwise. Reverse the wires on the starter/gen, should fix it.

I felt like that was the wrong direction. I did replace it. I swapped the wires that run from the battery to the starter but it was still clockwise. What else would need to be swapped?

Nevermind got it running!! Thanks a ton! The place I got the starter from sent it with the wires backward. I switched those and it fired right up.
