Which way does a convex washer go

[vhgmcbuddy]

Can someone tell me which way round the convex washer goes as when I removed the starter clutch on a briggs & Stratton 80202 engine the convex part was facing the flywheel but there is signs of wear on both sides of the washer so I’m thinking it could have been fitted the wrong way around.

I fit these convex washers with the hollow side facing the flywheel, I checked with a manual for this engine and no mention is made re which way round it should be fitted.
