bench testing a motor (picture)

Well, when I measure across the "F" terminals, I get nothing. But, they ARE labeled "F" 1 and 2.

So the thought is this is most likely a SEPEX motor. Correct??

More likely it means its a piece of trash.

So I see you have two threads about these motors. And you have several members telling you this will not work, but your still going to do it,

No, I dont plan to use it. But I do need to know what Im talking about when I contact the seller. Obviously, if these carts take two different motors, the seller should have indicated which one it was.

I do appreciate all the help

What to you mean when you say you "Get Nothing". Is it zero ohms or open circuit?

There is some good info in this thread. You'll get it straighten out

Sorry, should have been more clier. I get zero ohms.

Zero ohms is probably ok. If it's under 1 ohm, then that is a series motor. I don't know what kind of ohmmeter you have so I don't know if it can tell the difference between 10 ohms and zero ohms.

Don't bother it's a Sepex motor guaranteed
