Any old iron? Blown motors and controllers wanted.

I need more bits to play with, dead motors and controllers wanted, I'll pay postage and maybe a bit on top if it is interesting.

Sorry I don't have old stuff to send you but I do have a controller and thumb throttle problem. Would you be able to help? It's a Conhis 200w 36 v set-up. The thumb throttle was always dodgy. It would stick. I didn't bother too much about that because I thought it was just the spring inside. I could always shift it back with my thumb. But sometimes the motor would cut out. I thought it was due to loose contacts. It seemed to be an easy fix to wiggle the connectors about. I never identified any one connector as the source. Yesterday the whole thing packed in and started again so much that I took it all apart. Following the dodgy connectors idea I stripped the wires and joined them without connectors, one by one. Still no joy. I then realised that it must be the thumb throttle. Took it apart and broke it. not worried. I've got a spare. But the spare isn't the same type. The Conhis motor and controller have a lot of extra features and that means extra wires. I don't know what they are for. The wiring diagram doesn't make it very clear. A proper circuit diagram would be handy.

To cut a long story short, would you be able to advise me on how I can join the new thumb throttle to the motor and controller? I'm not bothered about the fancy features. I would prefer to use only the minimum wiring necessary to make the thing work, with possibly one brake cut-out.

I wouldn't want this to be a nuisance so please don't feel that you have to respond.

Best regards,

Seon
