Thanks you guys! i guess i can't post links yet, but i found the specs at www DOT wbparts.com/nsndetail.cfm?NIIN=008583643&nsn=6105008583643 ...one really long reply never made it through moderation (or i somehow lost it)...I will run some ohmmeter tests and let you know of the results. But, basically, if it is 28V, does it NEED 28V to work at all? And how exactly do i run those tests with 6V first? do i just ignore the blue wire and set up the motor with a breaker in the circuit directly to the battery??
