PCM 454 starter - Saltare

[TitanTn]

Glad it worked for you. I've been out three times so far with mine, and I get a grin every time I bump the key and it starts right up. This is how it should be.

Hi guys I have 2 questions on this subject. I have a 88 Saltare 454 with the starter in the upper starboard side of the bellhousing. I purchased the boat last year and have been rebuilding it. When it ran last year forgot to take note of the direction of spin on the pulleys. Question 1 is there a way to tell what rotation your engine is without seeing it run or turn over (prop etc.)? Question 2 when you guys are talking about LH RH rotation are you talking about the direction of the pulleys or the rotation of the prop? Thx!

You can tell the engine rotation from standing behind the transmission and looking toward the front of the engine and seeing which way the pulleys rotate. If you can't see the engine run, the easiest way will be to look at your prop and it will have the prop size followed by a LH or RH depending on the rotation. LH rotation is considered standard so most often this will be the case.

Could you host that image somewhere and just link it here? That attachment is so small I can't make out anything on it.
