The hydraulic pump motor up front is fine, no smoke there. Actually it is the left wheel drive motor that smokes, but only when cart is stationary and platform is raised. It is fine while driving. I don't understand this, at least logically the motor should not be getting any power to it when not driving. The smoke comes out from where the motor power cables go into the motor housing through a grommet, so definitely coming from inside the motor. Talked to our local Crown service tech by phone, he is stumped thus far and needs to come out to see in person.
