I am sure the wire reversal was in the new generator/starter, as the original unit worked fine until there was a brush or bearing failure and the owner just replaced the whole unit.
So if you put the two units side by side they were identical, except the wiring had opposite polarity? Makes me think that the new generator was somehow wired incorrectly if it came with it's own wiring harness.
