    Sakura Chopper build Controller help please

    Update as promised. My Chopper is now working again! Special thanks to top man Stalkingcat who kindly came round & fixed the bike. Turned out to be the controller, which he swapped over for the one suggested earlier in the thread. He then managed (Without a wiring diagram) to work out how to...
