from by basic knowledge of it, you wont just be able to reverse the poles, because then the solenoid will be pushing the wrong way.
I think what youd have to do is open it up and where the solenoid engages the motor circuit, swap it around there, this should work but again like i
said this is only based on my very basic knowledge ofit

Sorry i should have stated that I require the starter to fire-up a kart engine for my son in law and it has to run anti clock.

in which case i assume youll have a remote starter? Therefore not needing the solenoid?
Youll have to strip it down then to just the motor and then just reverse the poles?

Would it be possible to use an older Honda starter motor, but maybe change the pinion? Honda engines used to spin the wrong way, and may save some
hassle.

Are you actually using the starter motor fitted to the engine ? Or are you using it to rotate the wheels of a fixed drive go kart?.

reverse starter motor
I am using the starter remotely and with an extension fitted to the starter shaft turn over the kart engine only. The kart is fitted with clutch
which engages at a certain rev.

Do you need to use a bike starter or would one from a car do?

reverse starter motor
I have this one to hand and it is very powerful and has great mounting brackets. On the subject I reversed the neg and pos. and the starter ran the
right direction, any one see any problems doing this. I was hoping to use a solonoid and a start button any comments welcome

How big is the kart engine? I've started lawnmowers and the like with a humble cordless drill with a suitable socket to engage the crank.

The engine is a 125cc high compression and requires quite a speed to start it up. I dismantled the starter and changed the poles but it did not
change the direction, but as I sayed early on, when I changed the pos. and neg. around it turned the right direction, but will this do any damage to
the starter
