The series wound starter motor cannot fail to operate on either polarity. It is just a connection/paint on terminal issue. They just can't do that. They even turn the same way no matter what. Do not worry, it just seemed that way, it wasn't. If a mag, see if it works before "putting in new parts". Clean the points with very fine 340 or finer abrasive, then clean with a folded dollar bill. Mags are never connected to system electricity. the wire going to it is to ground the points to stop the engine. Connectign any electricity to it will probably toast the mag. The switch on the platform should be attached to ground on one terminal, and to the mag on the other. The use of a relay in the start system is not stock, but just fine if it works. Clean up the carb issues and fuel lines, and check the oil. Then see if it will run. Keep us in the loop. JimN
