Tom Worrall Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section swept Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Worrall Posted August 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Would it make any difference if the end plate with the brushes in was put back 180 degrees out from the outer motor housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Worrall Posted August 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Yes it would, rotated the brushes 90 degrees and all sorted!!..........oops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t look to be much by way of waterproofing around those cases. Have you done anything about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
