[QUOTE="duanes7, post: 4900, member: 339"] Thanks for the welcomes. Although the starter I have is a SM-244 (the correct one for my GL1000) the brush plate is incorrect. Both plates have two brush holders - one that is isolated from chassis (positive) and one that is riveted to the plate (negative). Both also have one large notch for the positive terminal wire to pass through. This precludes the idea of extending the wires and swapping the brushes to reverse the motor. Swapping the brushes merely puts the positive brush into the negative holder connected to chassis. Ask me how I know... Direct short anyone... Wow, look at the pretty sparks... I have my incorrect brush plate out and have compared it with pictures of the correct plate. If you take my plate and orient it with the notch in the plate for the positive wire to the right, the brush holders on my plate are on the bottom with the positive brush being on the right. The correct configuration is with the brush holders at the top and the positive brush on the right. Since the positive brush is bottom right instead of top right the positive to negative flow is CW at the rear of the starter (CCW at the front) vice CCW at the rear (CW at the front). [/QUOTE]
