I'm having trouble with an E-15. It looks like a missing field; it"chugs" at high current draw on the slowest speed, then overspeeds whenyou bring it up to full. However, it still does that when I connect thefield directly to the battery, and I measure the field resistance at 17ohms, which is what I believe it should be. So I don't have an openfield, and the field circuitry is not the problem. Any ideas?


thanks,

Steve Gaarder
