Default Starter Question

I have a 12V starter. This is gonna sound really newbish and prolly a bit retarded. But being new to this I have to ask this question and I don't have any experience with these engines.

Iam trying to start my heli which is Raptor 50 with a 50 OS Hyper. When I try to start it, it doesn't budge anywhere, the 12v battery is charged as well as the glow igniter. The starter is turning counter-clcokwise (is that correct?), but like I said, nothing moves. If Iturn it clockwise it turns smooth.

I am thinking maybe I didn't tighten the cooling fan piece on the engine good enough to give it enough cleareance for the clutch bells rod to fit all the way in. Something just seems a miss, and it is rather frustrating since all I want to do is start up the damn thing. I have followed the instruction manual to a T. It seems the starter is turning it the wrong way maybe?

Thanks. Hope this makes sense.
