Hi all. New guy to this forum. I have a Hustler mower with a Honda GXV 530 engine. I had an issue with the clutch and pulled the engine. After the work was done (10 month process), I reinstalled the engine. When I tried to attach the battery cables, there was a spark and the starter seemed to be turning backward (turning, but not engaging). I checked the wiring and removed the starter solenoid. I tried to connect the battery with the solenoid removed and there was no spark during the connection and there was no noise from the engine. I reinstalled the solenoid and the same spark and starter engagement as before. I rebuilt a starter in an old car years ago and had the brushes wrong, so it spun in the wrong direction. That's kinda what this sounds like.. I know something is spinning and I assume it's the starter, but it's not turning the engine. I checked for a short across the solenoid, but the wirings are not touching. I assume a bad solenoid or starter. Any ideas?
