The reverse gear has a lower gear ratio...

I guess Ill have to deal with it then lol could you guys give advice on why my cart only runs on half choke? I installed newer carb, fuel filter, fuel pump, and sealed my airbox and still wont run correctly off choke.

Usually dirty carb, leak in airbox or intake spacer, or a modification for more air flow through airbox or exhaust. Last chance you can just richen the carb up to fix it by enlarging the main jet with a jet drill set or torch tip cleaners....enough to make it run right again. But I'd tell you try to fix the problem first if no mods or leaks it should run fine with stock clean carb when warm. If you take the fuel line off the carb it should spurt out every revolution when you turn it over, if so you have plenty of fuel it does not take that much to run it.
