Did you replace it with a known-good motor? Or just something you got from a JY?

got it from O'Reily's. I looked through my wiring diagrams and tried to see what it was that parked them but couldn't see anything. So I figured it must be something up in the motor. So when I replaced it I really thought it would correct it but it didn't.

You may have the crank arm on wrong if they park in the wrong place, like up the windshield.

Could just be a "bad" motor. You get them every once in a while.
