Engine

Hi the engine i have is a SC 40, the reason for the question is that my starter is spining it anti clockwise and the prop is hiting the cone and i think i have fitted the prop the wrong side of the plastic stoppers, please let me know your thoughts.

regards

Just think - if you hand started your engine you would "flick" it anti clockwise consequently your starter is turning it correctly.
I am not quite sure of your comment re the cone!
This is usually referred to as a "Spinner" the important thing is to make sure that the crankshaft nut is fully tightened.
If I can be of further help please advise.
