Peter,
My first EV (got it running 1993) was a Fiero, shown here in my driveway after selling it to Jim Wierick,
http://www.evalbum.com/264
It doesn't run in the reverse direction like a Honda.
Please post pictures of the event.
I posted information earlier for a 5BT1346B50 series motor.
I'm not sure what the difference is with a B51

The series motor will have S1 and S2 connections for the series field.
A Sepex motor would be labeled with F1 and F2.
Perhaps you could post a picture of the motor?
