92 G9, slow in forward, fast in reverse

[bobby]

My 1992 Yamaha G9 electric is slow in forward speed but fast in reverse - any suggestions?

When did it start, and did it start after you did something?

not sure exactly when it started, but haven't done anything to it lately. thought needed new batteries but my son discovered just yesterday that in reverse it ran very fast.
