Hi again Paul,
The resistance when the contactor comes on is 687 ohms and it is a 5k pot. I was going to take a picture of the pitting on the contactor, but I then realized that it would not be a true reflection of how it was working with the controller attached. When I first contacted you about the controller not having enough go, and later found it to be the pot not moving enough, I decided to connect the 60volt battery pack directly to the motor through the contactor and using the microswitch on the accelerator pot setup to engage it. This caused a lot of contact arcing so I will not be able to tell if any of this was caused whilst the controller was connected.
