They just don't want the hassle of pull it - let me test it - pull another one - let me test that one - etc.
I don't know how to test with a meter. I will start hunting one up - i think i have one in my shed somewhere. (i've only used one to test the fuse boxes in my car)
I can't use my jumper because the motors are still housed in the lift. I doubt one 12v car jumper (good for only one jump at a charge) would be enough to spin a drive motor for a lift that has it's brake controls pulled (many copper wires already pulled) and has it's wheels sitting in at least 4 inches of dirt. a failure to test a motor that way would not necessarily mean the motor is bad. No? (especially if it's a 36 or 48v motor)
If the 1HP motor is good, then how much use can i put it toward? nothing more than a ForkSwift metro? more? less?
Also - is there anything i should do before i test the motor.
On a side note, if i got a 20 inch diameter motor that was good, then how much could one of those do? (best guess)
