Backwards? Only 2 stroke engines can run backwards (and only
those with piston-port intake (reed engnes are different)). 12 is a loss
of power code (voltage to the computer). Maybe you have a problem
with your ignition switch (on-off-on-off just magnified it, causing the
computer
to revert (partially) back to original parameters).
Code 12 should clear (normally) in about 20 ignition starts.
