You have the wiring switched around on that starter most likely to have it run in reverse.

I have heard of people hooking their batteries up the wrong way and actually reversing the polarity of the starter causing it to spin backwards.

Are you sure the starter is turning backwards? I don't want to sound condescending, but...you do realize that the starter turns the opposite direction of crank rotation don't you?

yes i'm sure its going backwards...if it wasnt then the motor would turn over.... think i figured out y..suprized no one suggested it.. when i had the starter off it fell apart.. i must have stuck the brushes in backwards... and its reveresing the polarity of the magnets....

i'm getting ready to mess with it now... just thought of it..... later
