August 20, 20188 yr So I put a new bearing in my oset 16 36v motor 2012 and now it runs in reverse. What might I of done wrong?? I had both sides of the motor off, it was tricky putting the 4 springy things back on (technical term there), I think they all went on properly and as far as I was concerned I didn't touch or change any wires??.......HELP
August 21, 20188 yr Did you not take any photos prior to dismantling? It’ll be a novel feature having to ride sections in reverse, you could pre select whether you are on a five or maybe a clean!? Seriously you must have created a reverse current to flow somehow. I would go back and re check all of your work very carefully. I’ve not worked on an Osset yet but have on numerous electric motors. This may sound daft but re check battery polarity first. Then it’s down to either workshop manual or tinternet.
August 21, 20188 yr Author Would it make any difference if the end plate with the brushes in was put back 180 degrees out from the outer motor housing?
August 21, 20188 yr Author Yes it would, rotated the brushes 90 degrees and all sorted!!..........oops
