i have always been told you can,t swap the C.W and C.C.W starters......i don,t know 1st hand so i,m guessing but if its dragging the charging system down it would seem to me its because of the rotation of the starter.....yes maybe the starter side will start the cart but it seems the generator side is running backwards............i don,t know that theres anything you can do about that but someone here will know.........like i said i,m just thinking its discharging instead of charging.....................................
