Putting hydraulic pump on small gas engine

[DavidPR]

I've got a Predator engine from Harbor Freight that has a counter-clockwise shaft rotation. I don't know if this is looking at it from the flywheel side or the crankshaft side, but whatever...I want to put a hydraulic pump on it and I need to know if I should get the clockwise rotating pump or the counter-clockwise rotating pump. Does anyone know for sure which pump direction I would need?
Thanks

Most engines have a counter clockwise rotation looking at it from the front of the engine, meaning the pull starter side, the pump should be the same.
