Default Series\Sepex Motor diagnosis

Here is the problem I am rebuilding a series cart I bought super cheap to resell. After talking to some experts one of the diagnosis was that is may be a pds motor on the cart. How do I tell the differnce pictures would be ideal. Does the coils on the inside look different.

Yes the series cart windings have 1/2" wide flat wire. and the Sepex motor has thin normal looking wire......

I looked at my invoice from plum quick it said series motor but I think it has round coils if I'm not mistaken that's really all I can think of since I have replaced everything else

Anything is possible. I installed a PDS in a series cart once and it acted like you described? Post a pic of the motor windings.

Question Re: Series\Sepex Motor diagnosis

Does the motor have two of the four terminals smaller than the other two. If so it's a PDS motor. Check my pictures.







Stock PDS motor before PQ got it.






Post some pictures of the wiring and the cart controller.
