Got a Sunbird scooter cheap, but it was not running. I replaced some wires and a fuse, tested it with power and it seemed to work fine. Well, I put it all back together and now when I turn the key (turn on) the motor comes on (and stays on) without me applying the throttle and I have to switch it off to stop.. Is this a problem that anyone else has ever encountered? and if so, what is the most likely culprit? Also, the electrical connections use a 3-blade plug that looks like a CRT monitor plug. If I wanted to make up another battery pack I would need to get a female 3-blade receptacle to accept the male plug end to the motor and charger if I wanted to retain the stock plugs. Anyone know where I could get a 3-blade female plug end or would it be easier to replace all connectors (including charger) with say, the polarized plugs used on Lashouts? Thanks in advance for all responses!

Support V is for Voltage
By "keep running" is the motor running at 'full' ?? A lot of controllers have a failure mode where they peg at full power.

yes, I believe it is running at "full". Could I get controller that is similiar in specs, perhaps on Ebay? Is the motor brushed or brushless? Wattage is 250, voltage is 36, I know. Are leads very specialized? I mean, if I find a generic controller and spliced in all the corresponding leads, Is the chances that everything will work, very good?
