Welcome to BGW
This cart had a factory 1/2 power reverse. Verify this by the existence of a battery cable from the bottom of the F&R switch to the middle of the battery pack... It may have been removed and modified but if not, your cart runs on just 3 batteries in reverse. If one of these 3 batteries (drivers side) goes bad then the cart will really loose power in reverse..... Of course a bad connection or cable could give similar results.
Can you post voltage readings for each of your 6 batteries?
