Don't assume the worst yet!
I've never actually measured the armature resistance of a series motor, but
that
Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to test the controller and it
lights/controls the light bulb correctly under high voltage.
Unfortunately, this probably means I have a motor short It measured
0.1 ohms, which seems a bit too low for an FB1-4001A.

12 volts might not be enough to energize the Curtis logic circuits properly.
An incandescent light bulb (40-150 Watt) is your friend. First, connect it
across the controller input terminals. If it lights at all, it should be
just for a short time. (You are making sure the capacitors inside
I disconnected my motor from the Curtis controller. I fed the HV lugs of the
controller with 12 volts from the accessory battery.
The motor connection saw about 10 or 11 volts even with the throttle at zero
and when I move the throttle all the way up the voltage was about the same.

Subject: Blown HV fuse reasons?
Driving my S10 conversion the EVAmerica kit I stepped on the gas while crossing
a road and heard a pop. Navigated to the side of the road and it looks like my
high voltage fuse has blown.
I have had twenty thousand miles on this fuse so far. No changes
