Hello everyone! Thanks for the great forums which have answered some of my questions already but I am stuck on this one. Recently the starter motor on my early 1970's evinrude stopped working all of a sudden so after investigation I found a broken wire from the negative? brush to the windings?. After soldering this I re-assembled starter but cracked the fibre washer? that holds the brush housings. I finally put it all together and fitted starter to O/B abd it was good as gold. Today I decided to do a better repair so I stripped down starter, did repair and re-assembled but when I fitted starter to O/B it seems to be spinning in wrong direction and the Bendix won't engage even though it is free on the shaft. The battery is new before Christmas. What could I have done wrong? Something inside starter or reconnected wires wrong?<br />Greetings from Australia <br />Regards Peter
