Well how does it work in a golf cart anyway? Does thge brake ground out the
ignition and the accelerator activate a relay to power the generator/starter
or something?

The ones I've seen use a regular brake pedal for stopping (with a lock
bar on it for a parking brake). The gas pedal has a microswitch on it
to start cranking the starter/generator in the direction the
"forward-neutral-reverse" switch is in. As I understand it, the
engine timing is set for 0 degrees (TDC) so the engine will run either
direction.
