    The connections to the battery were not removed and the starter has only one (+) cable. I think it probably has to do with the brush plate inside the starter but I think I got it oriented the same way it came apart. But???

    FOUND IT!!!
    It was the orientation of the brush plate (about 90-110 degrees turn and it works fine)
    Thanks !
