@gunrunnerjohn posted:Well, if one is spinning the wrong way, that will CERTAINLY be a major issue and could cause a motor stall and kill the DCDS. Of course, if you verify that to be the case, just swap the leads on the offending motor. Since you replaced the motor and encoder, my guess is you just swapped those leads in the process.
That partially solved the problem. I switched the leads on the encoder, and the engine is now running smoothly, but when I run it in reverse, it shorts out the transformer, and the DCDS gets really hot. I have no idea what could be causing that.
