G1 not starting in reverse
Have a 1984 G1 I just bought would not turn over in reverse I replaced both solenoids now it turns over both ways but will not start in reverse. I have compression & spark runs fine in forward. Also turns over when I turn the key in each direction without pressing gas pedal but no spark till I push the pedal.I installed a new ignition switch also still does the same

Re: G1 not starting in reverse
somethings not wired up correctly for it to start without pushing the pedal
there is a "maintenance mode" for the G1 and that involves unplugging the black wire with white stripe at the CDI (ive also heard of doing this at the pedal switch?) then the cart will start by turning the key to either forward or reverse and hitting the pedal but the cart however will not shut off until you turn the key to the off / netural position. check for compression and spark in both forward and reverse. check / clean connections at the stator near where they go into the block and check at the pedal and key switch. |

These carts run the same way in forward and reverse so if your forward fuel flow is ok I would assume it's fine for reverse as well. The first thing I would do is to the make sure you are getting spark in reverse. If not your cdi might be on the blink. |

Re: G1 not starting in reverse
Would the fuel pump work in forward & not reverse? I installed a new CDI and have spark & compression. Starts fine in forward

Re: G1 not starting in reverse
You can test the fuel pump by removing the fuel hose at the carb and turning the engine over. Catch the fuel in a jar or cup of some sort. Test it in forward and reverse.
