It is possible that the motor is new. I have heard that you can get motors with a reverse rotation, but not positive it would make a difference if a drive pulley replaced the regular belt type pulley.
I'm guessing that you may have plugged the motor into the "light" outlet of the motor block. Most are not marked as well as this one of Leon's -

Pictures of electrical connections plugs blocks If the motor was plugged into the light socket it would start sewing, but when it is plugged in to the motor socket, it will
not sew until the controller is pressed.
