I have a problem with my starter. It runs in reverse. Thats with the positive hooked to the positive and ground to ground. Im bench testing it. The pinion gear doesnt come out when activated. When I switch polarities. + of battery to housing and - to the positive lead. It works the way its designed. I had the end piece with the brushes off and of course all the brushes popped out of their places and I had to put them back. I would think that the order that the brushes are now wouldnt be the cause of this. You think that if I had the brushes in different places that this may be the problem? I placed them according to the length of each brushes wire as to where they should go. Is there a set sequence for each brush? If so, anyone have a picture? Finding a wiring diagram for the routing of the brushes inside the end cap seems to be impossible.
