The black wire with the yellow stripe
is the kill wire.

If you did the work you said you did, re-check ALL the electrical connectors on the mtr. Sometimes they will partially pull out of a connector and are hard to notice.

If it drops rpm when switched off but still does not kill, the shift interupter switch wires are reversed and it is only killing one side of the pack.
