Identifying Engine Rotation
Determining Rotation on engines with Outdrives
All engines with Outdrives are Left Hand,
Standard Rotation
See example below
Determining Rotation on engines with Transmissions
Left Hand, Standard Rotation
Standing in front of the engine and looking at the belts and pulleys, if they are turning to the right, in a clockwise direction then it is a standard rotating engine.
Pulley Rotation
Standing behind the engine and looking at the flywheel, if it is turning to the left, in a counter-clockwise direction then it is a standard rotating engine.
Flywheel Rotation
Right Hand, Reverse Rotation
Standing in front of the engine and looking at the belts and pulleys, if they are turning to the left, in a counter-clockwise direction then it is a reverse rotating engine.
Pulley Rotation
Standing behind the engine and looking at the flywheel, if it is turning to the right, in a clockwise direction then it is a reverse rotating engine.
