When I acquired our second RN the starter wasn't connected to the enormous battery behind the passenger seat because the cable wasn't long enough to reach it but the engine started easily on the handle. I eventually purchased a battery which would fit in the battery box and connected the starter up on operating the starter it spun the engine over but it wouldn't start. I got out opened the bonnet and found everything OK and swung started the engine and back in the car I stopped the engine and tried the starter with no joy but I spotted the fan was going the wrong way. So I can state Seven engines do not run backwards.
