Default 78 Harley smoking Resitor Coil

I have been working on a 1978 DE 40 cart. Had the motor rebuilt, fixed burnt wiring and finaly got the wheels to move.

The wheels seem to spin fine going forward but when I switch to reverse I have a problem

When I turn the switch to reverse and hit the accelerator pedal the cart does not move until I release the pedal and then the wheels turn and the resistor coil seems to be smoking.

Anybody know what the problem might be???

You didnt use the wiring diagram from VintageCartParts did you when you did the wiring job? They have 2 wires crossed going to the motor. A1 and S2 . I wired mine like that and got my resistors smoking too. DE-40?

Mine is a 1980 3wheel. Didn't move in reverse and smoked. Changed the reverse solenoid (6volt/6terminal) and now works fine. Purchased the solenoid from motorcityreman.com for 79.99 including shipping. Other companies had them for over 120 without shipping.
