Won't the starter run backwards with the polarity reversed? That could give a clue.

It will not.

This one won't, but for clarity/future reference, if it's a permanent magnet starter motor as on a lot of smaller engines, they will. But of course 99.99% (I guess) of things that run with a starter with permanent magnets, are all negative ground.
