reverse works fine but no fwd travel.
fwd used to work a little bit, but none anymore.
fwd travel did not die completely in one go.
the performance fell ayay, fairly quickly, with an increasing frequent "chattering/clattering" noise...
i can hear the contactor pulling in both fwd and reverse directions...
i have fiddled with the potentiometer....opened it up and cleaned and lubed...no apparant improve...
also messed with contactors....i found one which was quite badly eroded...cleaned it up with file and re-installed....
is it possible to re-do contactors in this method?
or is this a big no no.
btw, all the other functions on this machine work fine.
its a 24 volt model
the brake switches are fine.
i pretty sure battery voltage is fine too.
pls help
