    Starter Motor Rotation

    Does a starter motor on a GS650G rotate in the same direction as a starter on a GS650E?

    Yes. Counterclockwise when you face starter motor shaft. If not, when you switched parts from the E starter motor to the G motor , brush position on armature must have changed causing reverse rotation.

      Normally, I would say "yes", but you might have that rare Aussie version.
