first thing make sure you don't have a lanyard on the dash somewhere cause that will do this to your motor lets them turn over but no fire.

Ah excellent thought...check the obvious. That's where us men normally screw up. For instance have you ever lost your hat only to find it on your stinkin head? :o

follow the harness from the red plug at the motor and when you see the yellow/black wire plug into the brains unplug it on both and then test the motor with the plugs out to see if you have fire on the motor. don't start it with the wire unplugged or it can't be cut off

[macojoe]

No red plug!! wires just go every were, I will try to get a better pic tomorrow

grab the big feeder wire from the controller andsee what you have on it to connect to the motor. if no red plug i think you found the problem then.
