I have a B&S engine 280707-0128-01 on a Snapper RER. First question, is it normal for the positive terminal on the starter motor to be grounded? It's a B&S 12v 4-9/16" housing starter motor. With the push-button starter switch closed, I have 12V to the positive terminal on the starter, but it does nothing. I discovered that the positive terminal on the motor is grounded - if I put one voltmeter lead on the starter motor terminal and the other on the positive battery post, I get 12V. So, the starter terminal is grounded. Is this normal?
