351w rotation question for all you smart guys

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   My model number is PRD WR-R10. I think the starter rebuilder gave me the wrong starter. All pulleys are turning clockwise and the rotor is as well. From what I've read I have a RH motor and everything should be turning the other way. I've done exactly what Pete has said not to do, which is throw a lot of new parts at this problem. I have learned how to use a vom though. My question is do I have the wrong starter if all these things are spinning the wrong way?

	Obviously motor turns over just won't fire. Since this has started I've replaced plugs, wires, points, condenser, ballast resistor, ignition switch, ground cables, rebuilt carb. All this and it seems this starter was the problem the whole time. Oh and I found a crack in the exhaust manifold, so I replaced that and the riser on that side and got new gaskets of course. Have to replace the other side this winter. The only thing is I'm getting 12volts on both sides of the new ballast resistor. Can you wire these things backwards?

	If there is no current flow, you will get the same voltage on both sides of the resistor. Nothing wrong there.

	The rotor going Clockwise means that you have the wrong rotation starter installed in the engine. At least you have some spare parts now as long as you didn't throw 'em out.

	So when I order one, do I need the a right hand rotation starter or left? Just making sure. Thanks for your input and knowledge.

	You need a CCW rotating starter for your RH rotation 351w The link has good info on rotation starter rotation link An ARCO part number is 70101 for the old style and 70201 for the new style. The new style is smaller and takes a minor wiring change. You could use those for cross referencing or go to the Discount Inboard Marine website, they'll have the correct one of one brand or another. They only list the new style these days.

	Okay thanks. I looked on there and only saw the other ones. I will call tomorrow and get one ordered up.

	So you dropped your old starter off at a shop & they gave you back a wrong one? Have you talked to them about this?

	There's probably somebody right now wondering why his old Ford pickup won't start after he put in a freshly rebuilt starter from that shop. And he'd never suspect he ended up with a backwards rotating boat starter
