Default engine rotation and battery memory

well canada post dropped off 5 props for me today. and after i got home i went and put on on my trainer. off course i then went to start my engine in an attempt to tune it before my next flight. But when i started it up the third time i noticed something was backwards, the rotation. Im not sure how it happend but some how the engine was turning clockwise instead of the other way. First i thought i had turned the prop the wrong way, but i started it again and was sure i was turning it the right way but same thing. There was a lot of fuel coming out of the carb and a clicking sound when i throtlled up a little and it would eventually die if you throttle up too much. Any idea to what the hells going on? and i also want to know if transmitter batteries have memories, by which i mean if you charge the battery without fully draining it it will eventually not hold a charge.
