ok here is what I found with that so called reversed set up
it IS the RIGHT way red to white , white to red they just did that for some reason or another .
if you try to reverse it (red to red etc.) it will run full 12 volts and start at the resistor (7-9 volts)
it will run white to red etc. and right
they only plug in (factory like) ONE way that is how it is supposed to be
so yeah reverse it back to reversed colors
I haven't figured out why they did it that way either , even the diagrams are that way
some with one pole on the starter solenoid mine and like 1984 and newer
and some with 2 small poles on it, 1983 and older
