Re: Lambo crank reedvalve

If you connected the wires the other way around would it have worked ? That was kind of where the problem started. The starter motor has a thrown pinion, and it will only work in one direction. Reversing the polarity would make the electric motor turn in the opposite direction, but the pinion would...
