Enviro empress new combustion motor, no vacuum now

I have a 2006 enviro empress fs, it's been a pretty great stove for me until recently. It had a hard time starting lately. So on a warmer day, I shut it down, tore it all down, as far as I could get the chamber. This is the very best I could have done. It works better, then I shut it down. Restarted it before bed, nothing, just the number 2 light on, and the combustion fan was frozen, won't turn. Bought a new fan from fleabay installed it, and I still get the number 2 light on. Instead of vacuum, I'm getting pressure from the hose. It seems the motor spins reverse from what my old one spun. I can't confirm because my old fan won't do anything. Am I missing something? Swapping the wires made no difference.
Thank you in advance!

Going by my pic, should new motor spin clockwise, or counter?

I have the paper manual that came with mine. The damper is wide open, and the stove is very clean, tore it all down 2 days ago.
I thought by looking at the fins, it would spin the other way, but then again, that's why I'm here asking lol

I tried closing it part way, different places, still the same. The new motor spins clockwise. But to compare my blade to others online, mine looks backwards. I watched the video here about combustion motors, and his is reverse of mine

Negative, still not working correctly. I have up on it, and use my furnace until I have the $ for the tech to cone fix it. For such a simple setup, out sure is giving me fits, and I don't understand why lol
