sten 84 #1 Posted August 6, 2015 Hi, I thought I would fire up my Wheel Horse Raider 12 for the 1st time in about 18 months but I have a problem, the starter is turning backwards, it was alright when parked it up and I haven't touched any of the wiring, also the battery hasn't reversed polarity, how can this happen, as far as I remember it is negative earth isn't it ? Any ideas please, or have I done something stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
