Default Need help with motor test

I am still in the process of converting my 1993 club car 36v from resistor to solid state with 48v. Have potentiometer in, and its ohms are reading from 0 at rest to 5.23 when pedal pressed down. FSIP 700 amp controller. New heavy duty solenoid, which clicks. My problem is the cart still won't go.

I have disconnected the battery negative and positive and disconnected everything from motor.

I tested the continuity of the motor with the ohm meter set to 200. Here is what I got:

A1-A2 - continuity reads .9
S1-S2 - reads .5
nothing between any of a terminals and s terminals, as it should be.

I was about to battery test the motor with a twelve volt battery. I have seen the diagram, which requires a jumper between A2 and S1. See

I have connected one of my short battery cables between these. But, the diagram then says to run cables to the battery and add make a "break." What is that exactly?

At my controller, I get full battery output at B+ and B- of 50.1 volts. At pin one on the controller, I get 50.1 volts. the solenoid clicks. At B- and M, I get 50.1 volts, but it does not drop when pedal is fully depressed as it should.

All connections triple, quadruple, etc. checked.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
