Stupid engine question
Hi ive got an OS.46 2Stroke and my buddy has an ASP.52 4Stroke he brought it over to the house the other day and wanted to test run it. I got it fueled up and ready to start we worked seems like 30 minutes to try to get it to run I had the wire from my starter hooked up to the battery as follows. I had the negative wire to the negative terminal on the battery and possitive wire to the possitive terminal. I thought to myself maybe i have the wire hooked to the battery wrong I switched the wires it started the first hit of the starter. Okay when we went out to fly saturday i hooked the starer up just like we started his with that day negative wire to possitive terminal and possitve wire to negative terminal we got my OS.46 ready to start it started on the first hit i flew for a while and landed well we got his ready we worked for 30 minutes to get it to run it would start but die befor you could make it to half throttle we adjusted the low side and high side with no luck I switched the wires on the battery possitive to possitive neg to neg and it started first hit of the starter. I thought all engines started the same and run the same direction?
so whats the deal what direction is the starter supposed to be turning to start the engine clockwise or counter clockwise?????
