Looks like someone did some aluminum on the grinding wheel. Two things can happen.. Wheel breaks or aluminum catches on fire. Either is bad news.

Definitely should be rotating downward toward the rest on the grinding side. Maybe the start windings are toasted. Try spinning the wheel, then close the power switch. If it then powers up in the right direction, investigate from there...

Nothing wrong with the starter...i am sure that i jusy need to switch some wires around to to change direction
