Bendix Spring

[rob love]

The M151 mounted the starter behind the motor, over the transmission. As such, it should/would/could (choose one) have a reversed spring. Also, some starters forced the gear towards the flywheel while some dragged the gear back into the flywheel. Perhaps that could account for the reverse springs?

Makes sense to me, Rob!
