My Peugeot VClic scooter (50cc 4 stroke Chinese based) will not start on the starter motor. It kick starts fine 1st time though and everything works as it should. The starter motor spins OK, but it runs in the wrong direction, so the bending doesn't engage! This problem has existed since I bought it. The starter motor frame is negative polarity (bolted to the engine casing) and the heavy red wire on the motor is positive when the start button is pressed. It's a mystery!

 bobclements That's a new one on me! The only thing I can think of is they wired it up wrong by reversing the windings? When I say that I mean that the post on the starter that should be positive from the battery is negative thus making it turn wrong when the 12Vdc positive side is applied? The only way I know to test this theory is to remove the starter and use a 12Vdc battery and try hooking it up both ways. If you hook the negative side of the battery to the single wire post and then touch the outside of the starter with the positive side of the battery and it spins correctly then you have your answer but not the solution. The only solution I know is to replace it. JR

Thinking take it over to car put jumper cables to just starter and check rotation again.

That would work ,,, if it does the trick ,,,pull the ends to gain access to the wiring ,,, maybe you can switch them

You can reverse the starter wiring by using a small flat eyeglass screwdriver to press down the pin that holds the wiring connector on the wire. Sounds like it was wired wrong from the factory.
