just bought a powermaster XS mini gear reduction starter. i'm not a professional mechanic or an engineer so excuse the ignorant questions.

on my stock starter i have a large diameter terminal where the battery cable connects and a smaller terminal where the solenoid wire connects.

on the powermaster there is a large and a small terminal also. BUT
the large terminal is labeled "ignition" and the small terminal is labeled "bat". am i missing something here. isn't that backwards from my stock starter? or is it just different terminology.

thanks for any info.

Does it look like this? This one shows the BAT as the larger terminal. Could the label be installed upside down?

yes, that's the starter i have. but the terminals are labled oppositely.

I'd guess that the larger terminal is the bat term. You could bring it to the local auto parts store for a test...
