Jeff,
 
No.
 
The design for the system is High Pressure port (with High press sw) on the left.  Reversing the wiring in addition to the lines MIGHT allow function but the bleed off circuit and design pump rotation (for high pres) would be wrong.  Oildyne could tell you with certainty.
 
However, it only takes about 15 minutes to pull and reverse a spool valve.
 
BTW, if you have an older model pump, you do NOT have the spool valve as pictured in Gerards post.  In my discussions with oildyne, I believe I understand correctly that the early model pump does NOT have the bleed off circuit (like the guts pictured).  Therefore, I'm not sure of your specific problem/ solution.  I guess what I'm saying is that Oildyne/ Lancair never really explained why the pumps changed.  I assume it was for the bleed off circuit.  Additionally, I've got one in my hangar that chirps (a friends) and I'm not sure that our spool valve test holds any relevance to his pump.  Chris Z?  Any thoughts on the early models?
 
Post repair inputs are perpetually appreciated.

For the reversed spool valve problem, could one not also just flip the lines on the ports ? aka cross them ... meaning if high was on the left move it to the right? thus the spool valve would then have high pressure on the correct side ?

or does this pump have other items that cuaseit to have to flip the spool valve internally.

I guess the question is why does the HIGH side of the pump need to be on the left while facing the pump ? is it only cause the spool valve ? or is there something else in the pump that needs to have the high side on the left ?

Wondering ....
