With a conversion like this it is really hard to say without knowing how the thing is wired...... Sounds like you have a dead short in reverse. But when you swapped the two swiveling leads on the F&R, you still only had the one (same) direction? if that is so ..... the F&R is good and the solenoid is good.... I think the controller is okay and the pot is okay.... mark and disconnect all the motor leads and check for unwanted continuity between any S terminal and any A terminal... any continuity between any A & S terminal indicates a short in the motor.
