Which direction does the motor crank when starting at the crank pulley? Take the opposite of that and you have your rotation. It's most likely ccw.

Hit the starter and see which way the balancer turns.

Motor has no heAds and starter not on. Any other way to tell. From the front of the motor seems like it rotates clockwise
