Re: (ET) GE controller

Did you get this from Jerry Rhodes with the METI set-up? Somewhere I have the documentation for that... By memory, it does require a forward/reverse switch and a *three* wire pot box set-up. And it has connections for the field winding, which that Curtis may not. That is, it won't run if it doesn't "see" the field. All in all, not really a drop in replacement.

I have a GE 262 FS1 controller.  FSIP shows only a 262 EV1, probably a
successor to the FS1.
My ET, 26AE12CA with an E20 drive motor, has a Curtis 1204m system in
place and working great.  The 262 does not have the fwd/rev switch
common to Curtis.

So, just for a giggle,  I removed Curtis and installed the GE with
clear instruction from the seller.  Seat switch closed, ignition on,
trans in neutral, move throttle back and forward....nothing.  No motor
action.
The pot is finely adjusted and at times, with throttle back, there
could be a teensy bit of motion from the motor.

Re-installed the Curtis, all’s well.  Without taking the 262 apart is
there a way to bench-test it?  Has anyone installed a 262 in an E12?

Thanks, be vaccinated,
Jack
