The motor winding resistance is normally quite low, so a quick check could show that someone has "mistakenly" replaced the inductor with a non-complying part.
We found around 20ohms of resistant across the windings with a stock motor and 6 ohms with just a wire in place of the inductor. Pretty big difference.

Does anyone know if the inductor I listed earlier in this thread an identical part?
